Moon March 3rd plus Closer ups

Well another one, I think I have managed to get the focus right, got the laptop out in the attempt to get the sharpest focus with live view on the PC.

What I did find is a lot of thermals in the tube or atmospherics. I had to set up the scope out the front due to the position of my house so it was a quick set-up. Fortunately quite neighbourhood and hopefully not too many crooks looking for something to break in.

I managed to take multiple RAW image but I set it to take Large JPEGS as well. This slow the shutter down when taking a stream of image in one hit.

First full capture of the moon ISO200 1/640 secs.

Last two are with the 3 x Barlow better improvement on the last shots but still shows a bit grainy. That will be a work in progress. ISO1600 1/250sec

Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Nice job Malcolm, we must have been looking and imaging exactly the same section last night. I'm still processing mine!

All the best Paul

Looking good.
Any clues on where to purchase a 2" 3x Barlow?
All my searching has failed.

I purchaced mine from http://cameraconcepts.com/store/p4385.html but I still have not done a full series of checks. I would rather comparative test it before buying a 5 x Barlow.

I originally thought it was rubbish but am finding some good things about it. Especially with Baader Planitarium's.

Thanks everyone on the comments, happy with them too.

A quick word, I am experiencing heavy flaring on moon shot but not sure if it is Barlow or something else.
