First trial moon shot

[Kanadalainen]

.. with a measly 135mm.

Cropped and cropped again. Otherwise you will never find it.

f6, 1/400, ISO 200, Rokinon 135 mm f2 ED

Pretty dang nice, Ian.
You have harvested a good "crop".

[Kanadalainen]

Thanks!

Nice pic Ian, that lens certainly seems to serve you well!

All the best buddy,

[Kanadalainen]

Thanks Mark,

I'm going to pull out the dob soon and try my Canon D60... not sure if the image will fit in the chip, but I'll give it a go.

Don't know what format you up-loaded it in, but it would be nice to be able to zoom in on the images.

Nice image.

Hi Brent,

Thanks!!

Those are heavily cropped .jpg's exported from photoshop cc, where I stacked them. The file size is tiny, so even clicking on them doesn't give you much.

I have a few ideas about how to fix the problem, involving a large 2x Barlow and a large 14.5" primary.

Ian

[OhNo]

Yup, that'll do it!!!!!

[Kanadalainen]

Same data, slightly more care given to processing.

Single frame, 1/400, ISO 200, f5, 135mm Rokinon f2.

Have you taken any shots through your C80?

Thanks,

Very nice Ian.

Nicely done, Ian!

Thanks Bryan, I have bought a big 2" ED Barlow (GSO) so am itching to try out my dob on the moon.

I need to find a cloudless night, and for the past 6 weeks its been bleak.

Very nice Ian.

Thanks Falcon.
