That's really good Phil. The best i've seen out of the society scope to date. Well done.

Well done Phil,

I couldn't get any detail at all when I tried it.

Thanks everyone.  There was a lot more structure that went unrecorded. When setting the exposure it seems that you have to choose between either detail at the limb or detail across the face. I'm currently trying to integrate images of both.
