Hi Raymond -

These are very beautiful images. It is not an easy task to process lunar images and get both sharpness and tone balanced - you've done it very well. The capture of the alpine valley shows excellent detail for this focal length.

Lunar-Mars Conjunction

What a beautiful rendering!!

It is fascinating that every image I have seen of this evening depicts a veil of clouds. Either the clouds were omnipresent (I know they are here in Buffalo smile ) or the quality they added to the view was the catalyst for many to uncover their cameras and capture the event.

Thanks for posting this wonderful wide-field observation -

Is it just apo fever?

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Steve -

The smaller refractors would be great for wide deep sky views and at lower powers cooldown would not present much of an issue. If you enjoy observing the planets the aperture and long focal length of your TEC mak would be preferable. Why not keep it in an unheated location so it is ready to go when you are?

clear skies -
