So, of course it isn't to the standards that can be gotten with a more dedicated set up.
It was a bit of fun posted for a bit of fun, so get a grip.

What it says is that amateurs can have some fun AND have photo proof of the excitingly innocent way they spend their nights.

btw - if Brian says the CA is unobtrusive then... it's unobtusive.

Theres a nice ED120 going on this site for $1190. Or you can get a new Istar 127mm Achro for USD $1500

I seen that , someone's going to get a bargain .
I have given my darling my credit card until that sells , great buy for a FPL53 f7.5 120mm doublet , I bet it performs very nicely ( without filters

) The build of the Istar is in another league tho and the optics will be smoother , better figured and coated than the sweet mass produced Synta . But yes it will show CA but it will be very well suppressed , like mine .
Hand figured and built that's where the extra $300 comes from .
By the way a new 120mm ED Synta is in the 2k+ ball park dollar wise .

I think your raw Moon shots through an achro are quite pleasing Brian. I also like to view and shoot the Moon with my achro.

Hi Brian,

I think your shots look good, I have got a Megrez SD 80 which shows some CA but she is very sharp.
I used my cheap mobile phone to take a shot (camera on a steep angle) using my TAK. I have found the blue moon. This is why you have this colour too it was a blue moon last month.

Regards

Den
