Moon Close-Ups Catch-Up 24th Aug

[Star Catcher (Ted Dobosz)]

Hi All

Just catching up on some processing from my moon session a few days back. Taken with the C11, DMK41 at 5200mm FL. Seeing quite good, some slight artifacting from stacking & compression. Thanks.

Nice work, Ted

Its remarkable what modern cameras and processes can do. The detail is amazing.

Very nice work Ted.

By the way, I am considering getting a C11 at some stage. How would you say it fair for lunar and planetary AP (say compared to a 10" newt at F5). Is the long focal length an issue for lunar work?

Cheers,

Eric

Thanks Eric. A C11 is a good all rounder that gives you long focal length. Plenty of closeups await you! You will have a much smaller field of view since you go from 50 inches to 110 inches FL. You'll need a focal reducer to get back to something like you get with your newt.
