Craters Thebit, Purbach and Arzachel and some friends from 3/4/09
One of my Moon images from 2 nights ago 3/4/09.

Afocal method again as I dont have any better equipment.

20mm eyepiece and Canon IXUS70 compact digital camera.
MEade 10 inch SCT.
Details of exposure were 1/40th sec. ISO 80. F2.8.

Seeing was very "shimmery" and difficult to get a decent image or two.

This was one of the best close ups.
Some of the Craters are Thebit ( small one with another tiny one on the edge of it ) , Purbach and Arzachel.

Enjoy.

Geoffro.

Hi Geoff,

Top result, nice and sharp with some fine detail in some of the craters.
For an Afocal shot I think it is an excellent result.

Cheers
Trevor
