The moon through a (nearly) 40yo refractor

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

The Moon through my nearly 40 year old Tasco 10K, an 80mm F15 refractor. This telescope is nearly as old as me! It's also on the original EQ2 or something mount.

4 x 1/8th second exposures at ISO 100, Pentax K-x at prime focus.

Very nice Kevin, good detail with very little chromatic aberration.
That's a classic scope !

Thanks Dave. At F15 the CA ratio is 4.78, and quite acceptable.

Tonight's Moon. 1/10 sec single frame, same scope.

Two very nice shots Kevin

Thanks Rob.

Here's the last one before the clouds rolled in. 1/15th of a second at ISO 100.
