What Moon atlas do you have? - could not find Copernicus - sorry I laughed out loud.
You will love the IS camera.

Ahhh, yeah Matt, I was trying to ID it this morning at 2:30am or some equally absurd time on a school night, so I was a it fried.... I was using Virtual Moon Atlas but the problem is the shading and the orientation was all wrong on the region.....I DID track it down finally and was about to post a EUREKA moment but Les D on Facebook clued me in before I could correct my DOH moment. So all good in the end, glad I gave you a laugh....

Lots of playing to come I bet. |
Thanks Ken, its a wee ripper this one. I was testing it out on Wed night with the Orion 50mm finderguidescope on the neighbour's foxtel dish which was in complete darkness about 50m away and it is so sensitive, it looked like it was a night vision camera...not happy with the 2 dead pixels already visible, but I may call Bintel if any more appear and get it swapped over when they get new stock in as I bought their last one. I picked up some other goodies, like a Bahtinov mask, a CLS EOS clip, a small counterweight and a Kendrick dew heater and 50mm strip for the guidescope, so I am chuffed with my shopping trip and the results so far.
Cheers
Chris
