Good stuff, for the moon shots, take the settings off auto and move the gain back down to zero, (less noise that way) I also find that it is better to underexpose the moon a little with the DBK and then lighten it up later, seems to retain more detail that way.

Seeing - Poor 3-4 at best
Jetstream - 80-90 Knots
Wind ground level - Approx 10 Knots

All in all a bad night but a boy with a new toy must play
