Back in the saddle again

After an extended period (6+ years) away from the hobby I have just this week fired up some astro gear. The PC that had been left out in the observatory shed is struggling, but the mount and scope are okay, and I actually managed to collect some respectable shots (some easy lunar to get the feet wet).

Tech details:
Telescope: 200mm f6 Newtonian reflector
Mount: Skywatcher HEQ5
Camera: Point Grey Chameleon 3 with Sony IMX264 monochrome sensor, combined with an Astronomik IR 742nm high-pass filter

A 3x focal extender was also used for the two close-ups. Raw Images were collected with Firecapture, stacked with Autostakkert, with some minor post-processing in Pixinsight.
