Title: Waning Moon
Post by: RobertM on Feb 01, 2009, 22:20:20

Waning moon C9.25 with AP CCDT67 reducer (not corrector) and Canon EOS450d. 15 frames down sampled 50% and stacked in maxim (not that sure it's that good at planetary stuff) and wavelet sharpened in Registax.

Again from last night, not stable conditions but I thought I'd have a go. Through the eyepiece the view was incredible but shimmering, which the DSLR duly caught!
