Moon 29/03/20

[OhNo]

I seldom image space to the West. Forecast was average, NOT! There was a distinct fuzz around the Moon and Venus. I set up the CG-4 with dual axis tracking and stuck a 90mm Orion achromat (f/10) on it. The real goal was to capture Venus with a barlow in the imaging train. Ummmm, I'm gonna throw the Barlow in the junk drawer! I ended up stuffing the Canon 1100D into the scope. Once I was fairly happy with the focus I ran a few images off, captured with APT. The capture was ISO 100, Exposure 1/100th of a second.

Once done picking on the Moon I swung over to Venus. That didn't work out too well, over exposed and tiny in my FOV. After deciding enough was enough I packed up the stuff. By the time I put it all away the Sky was full of clouds that weren't supposed to be there......

The image below was run quickly through PI. Hope you like it, I have never used this combination of gear. I've been thinking of letting the seldom used gear go. Every time I consider it some catastrophe happens. Guess Covid-19, crashing world oil prices and an economic meltdown are my fault!

Hello OhNo. A very nice lunar capture with the 90mm Orion achromat (f/10) telescope. You have some fine surface details along the terminator. Thanks for sharing your capture on here OhNo, and keep up the great work, skies and weather permitting.

I like it, Brent!

Nothing but rain, clouds, wind, and 14 hour work days here. Not sure if I'm gonna get a lunar capture in the can or not.

You're just gonna have to stop thinking about shedding unused gear. If you actually sell something, no telling what might happen!
