My First Moon Shot

http://www.astrophotogallery.org/floyd-s-pics/p13755-full-moon.html

I got a new camera, a MallinCam SkyRaider LPS C for doing Solar imaging. But, since the Moon was up and full I decided to give it a try on the NP101 (.8x reducer) to see how it worked. I did it in Black and White, not color, just better contrast that way.

Anyway, here is the first image for this, hope you like it.

That's a great shot of a tough object. It's very hard to get a good image of the full moon that looks good. You done good!

Cool! Something I'm actually familiar with. I use the old TeleVue f/5 Genesis. Have found that a green filter sharpens the raw Lunar image immensely, probably because it is also minus NIR and my (Lunt Solar!) camera seems to have typ CCD spectral responsivity. Do the blessed short exposure times feel like “cheating?” Tom

Very nice, Floyd! What capture software did you use?
