Tonight I'm waiting for the Moon to go down so I can run some tracking tests but while waiting I figured why not take a shot at it.

Borg 76ED piggybacked on a NS11 - SBIG ST2000XM - single .015 second exposure through red filter - 100% size cropped for display - Photoshop CS for Auto Contrast and Sharpen.

Best,

Wonderful lunar portrait. The exposure is perfect. The lower limb is not overexpoused like i see in many (mine included) other moon photos.

Thanks Guys! Unfortunately, that same beautiful, bright Moon got in the way of my first attempt at a Galaxy. See the post "My First Galaxy"

Best,

Jose
