Nice images.
The moon looks excellent.

Have you got any links to the full sizes or are they full size?

Both excellent images Julian.  I especially like the way you've enhanced the colour in the moon.

Nope, others are to blame too; there's far too much bad weather for just one scope !

A new scope eh?  Nice one  8)

The first light images are great - taken from home I presume?

I especially like the moon with that very saturated colour.  I didn't know the SW MN190 could take images through cloud!  Must get one  :cheesy:
