It's been a while!!

Hi Guys,

It's been a while since I have posted on IIS, partly due to the fact that I was between cameras. Anyway, I bought myself a Pentax K20D and on the first night I took it out pointed it towards ole'faithful, the Moon.

Pic 1 is the Moon at 85% with the camera attached to the SW ED80 and set at 1/90 sec and ISO200. This has also been cropped fairly significantly as well, and as I was not using any filters I also reduced the exposure in PS.

Other Resolutions Here

Pic 2 is the Moon at approx 100%, again I was using the SWED80 and 1/180 sec and ISO100.

Hi,

Yep it does have a 600mm focal length.

I only wish that I could improve the alignment of my mount, then I could try some other targets as well. Oh well, at least I am able to focus the camera now .

Regards

Daniel...
