Half moon 26th Sept 09'

Hi all.

I've been practicing shooting the moon using my 400D & my 8" F4 newt I purchased from Ezystyles ages ago.

What do ya think Eric? I only use this scope for the moon these days, I've flocked it & done allsorts of mods on it to make it into a dedicated moon scope

5 stacked using registax ver.5

Had to compress this image a fair bit to get it on, hope it still looks ok!

That is sharp ! You must have done a great job with the flocking as the contrast is excellent.
Well done
