Hi everyone,

This one is from the 16th of April. I used two alignment points on it and merged it back together. Since I'm imaging in Alt/Az and at 5fps, this seems to work best for my Lunar images.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/24.5
Phillips ToUcam Pro 840
Edmund Optics R+IR band filter
Seeing 4-6/10
Frames= 260/1062 @ 5fps
Image taken at 2:07 UT on April 17, 2005
Resized 110%

Thanks,

Ed Roach

thats a great image Ed, with relative small apartures the gain with 5 fps is better s/n ratio I also found out with my Maksutov
