more moonage from the doghouse with a bigger bone 5/2/12
This was captured tonight from the Meade 14 at f6.2 and the canon40D. At least i now know i will never get it all in the field of view. only tracking was at lunar rate. its basic but its an image. I have more tweaking to do setting the gear up before i tackle some deep sky stuff. but this weather is not holding out

A couple of people asked here at work if that was my moon image on the news (well, it was a astronomical image and I must be the only astrophotographer out there )..no I said, that would probably have been my mate David Hough here in Newie...and low and behold it was - I'm psychic

Thanks Mike – maybe you should take the kudos as after all you are my mentor and as a former world class strongman I can’t argue with you. Don’t you just love the clear crisp clean skies we are experiencing? Its like being trapped in a room with white noise playing 24h a day 7 days a week, so far for 7 months….
