Hello all,

Finally got back to some lunar imaging last night with much nicer temperatures (-2 C) and the cresent moon at a high altitude. But the seeing was atrocious! I gave up after imaging a few objects, only Langreus turned out fairly ok.

Atik webcam, 5X's barlow, Baader 680nm IRpassband filter.
18" Starmaster, stack of about 180 Reg 2


thanks

Mike Wirths

Hi Mike,

Very nice image for such poor seeing conditions, how do you like the Baader 680nm as compared to your other IR passband filter, I finally got to try my Baader 680nm out last night and I think it helped some but I need more experience with it to say for sure.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Mike,

Now that's what I call a close up. Looks good for bad seeing.

Clear skies,
