Hi, all, I finally got a chance to use my new ImagingSource DMK video camera (I picked it up last month) on the moon Friday night. I'm quite happy with the results considering it was my first try at using the camera and Registax.

I used my homemade 6-inch f/4.5 Newt "Smurfette" with a 2x Barlow. Started with about 500 frames (.bmp) each, don't know exactly how many ended up in the final images tho. The images are just under four arc minutes on a side, with north towards the upper right.
