Just a Moon shot last night 9th Nov

[Garyh]

Nothing special but could not help but take a few shots of the moon while playing with the coma corrector. Seeing was quiet steady at times between the clouds!
Prime focus 8" f/4.6 newt Canon 20D 1/400 sec iso 100.
Straight from the camera with no processing other than cropped and resized to 66% and saved for posting.
cheers Gary....

Very nice Gary With a bit of judicious processing it'll really pop!

[iceman (Mike)]

I agree that's a beauty for no processing!
The 8" has a great FL for moon shots.

Nice one Gary and as Chris said, with a little processing you'll have a top image.
Looks like it has very smooth detail in there mate.

Ta Andrew! I was worried that my mirror was going to be a dud! But now it is shaping up nicely! It was that we have had such lousey seeing lately that everything looked very blurred!
cheers

Now give it some processing and re-post

Ok, wasn`t going to bother to process it but here it is on request.. Slightly cooked sunny side up! full size as well.....
Doesn`t have the scale and impact of Chris`s shot but its quiet sharp down to the pixel....
cheers Gary

That's really nice Gary - not overcooked at all, and actually quite subtle in its presentation. Very well done. A rush of great moon shots this week!
