Hi all,

I got a chance to image the moon last night in pretty horrid seeing (3-4/10) so I used my new 2.5 X's powermate.
If it was'nt for the Baader 685nm IR passband filter I probably would have deleted all the seq files! Anyhow this is a much better 1st light for the Lu75M, when I was in Mexico I made the mistake of playing with the brightness/gamma/contrast levels instead of just leaving them at factory settings, this time I just played with the exposure and gain like Paolo recommended. So, 18" Starmaster and Lu075M at 30fps.
1st image is Jansen

hope we get some better seeing.
