Just a quick first test on a Meade AR6 at prime focus. Did pretty good considering the light cloud cover that I had to shoot through. Gave me hope for better nights. 8O

Nice shot of the moon Dave. The D70 takes great lunar shots. I did this one 1 week after i got mine. You should be able to get even better ones with the larger aperature of your ar6

Great images David and John. Your cameras do indeed seem to be excellent for lunar images. I'll bet you could do an excellent job on a lunar eclipse. Thanks for posting.

Nice moon shots Gentlemen!
Maybe one of these days I'll ask the Treasurer (wife) and see if I can get me one of those DSLRs! (until then, keep those shots coming!)
