Did a bit of mucking around and thought I would see what I could come up with, kept upping the magnification to see how far it would go. seeing wasnt all that great.

Nice shots Peter. What were you using to image with? Details man details

Yes, those are nice! I really like the crater pic, what magnification did you get up to there?

Definately the first one. Very crisp and clear. Great shots.

Can only get better, we hope.

The first one with Toucam only and FL of the TAK 1000mm, next two using 3xTelevue Barlow. At that magnification the moon was wobbling all over the place, as I said the seeing wasnt too flash. I also had a baader moon and skyglow filter to cut back on the glare, cant remember the other settings other than no gamma, and saturation at max.

Great shots, really nice. Don't forget to image in black&white when doing the moon. The copernicus shot is really nice, just a shame the seeing wasn't a bit better as it would really look nice and sharp.
