Title: Quick Moon
Post by: JohnH on Mar 03, 2023, 15:18:54
I was trying to image Jupiter last night (problem 1: get Jupiter on the imaging chip). In the process I took a short sequence of the Moon through my guide scope:

A great result.  Keeping Moon and planets on the chip while you take a photo can be a challenge.

PS: Just re-read it, didn;t realise this was through your guidescope, that's pretty good.
