Moon under extreme conditions!

Hi All,
Here is a what came out of a 32second video. It's crap i know but the Moon was dancing all over the place. Terrible smoke haze up here and strong winds.
Taken through 150mm Achromat using Toucam.
Cheers,
Duncan

Good attempt, Duncan, considering the conditions

The smoke gives the Moon a "coppery" complexion

Watch your focus

A little focus and it would be excellent. Good to see someone using an Achro as well..
