Took this with the Canon 450D and SW 190MN with the replacement Moonlite focuser. It's incredible that they supplied the scope with such a crappy unit to start with.

Hey! First light from your Mak-Newtonian!
The moon certainly did look good on Saturday night.
I'm looking forward to more pics from that scope.
Mark
nice and crisp.
I will obviously have to get my finger out regarding Orion collimation, correct spacers etc ect etc, if we ever have a run of good nights!
Yep, first light with the chip orthogonal. The collimation was a bit of a guess but it's the best it's been and is nearly spot on.

About time :) It should give you exceptional results...
