Three moon shots at different magnification

I took these three last night with the Tak using my toucam as a stand alone, with 3xtelevue barlow and 5xpowermate. I was probably well above the 50x per inch of aperture, but what the hell, it is good fun.

Nice stuff there, thought I was on a collision course for a minute! By using a Tak does that mean its Sharp . ( louie)

Hey dude, nice work, we need to get that pier in though and soon. When are we doing that. Concrete has been in for nearly a month now. Should be nice and hard.

Very nice 3d/spaceship feel there

Pretty cool shots!!
I'm toying with buying a 3X or 5X Barlow just to see what it does for my prime Rebel imaging - you've given me some hope =-)

What shutter speed settings you were running?

Shutter speed, Hmmm cant remember. I think about 1/250 of a sec from memory, I know I mucked around with that a bit for the best brightness/gain combo. I do know I had the gain virtually at zero and brightness about 50%, was going to have another go tonight, but too much cirrus cloud about. Typical.!!
I have 2 Televue powermates, a 2" 4x and a 1.25" 5x plus a televue 3x barlow. That little lot covers just about everything.
