First moon for a while

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

I thought I'd bring the old 200mm newtonian out from its dank closet for a run tonight. It hasn't seen the sky in nearly 2 years. It was still in decent collimation, if not exactly perfect, and the only thing cloudless was the moon for a little while earlier this evening. The mirror was no where near cool yet, but you have to get what you can while it's there I guess...

Anyway - all good fun!

Very nice image Chris.
Sharp as and the subtle toning really sets it apart from other images that I have seen. It gives a lovely soft effect, a truly beautiful vista.
