f1! Thats an amzaing sized aperture. You've done well here, by simply shooting through the telescope. I would imagine you'd get a lot more distortion from refraction, that way. But this is a satisfying result.

Hi Colin... there was some colour aberation around the edges which I managed to tease away... but I'm pretty happy with my first crack... thanks for the comment...

Laurie, the details in this is simply outstanding. You've brought her so close that I feel I can reach out and touch...

hello Laurie..
wooww the shot is so impressive, I have this passion but the time at this point is little in order to dedicate to this hobby of the sky! I have a Newtonian reflector 150/1000, has given dof the beautiful satisfactions to me! in the photo you have to great resolution to the center of frame and a little aberation in the edge of the moon, but if the tehcnic it is in "projection of the eyeglass" the problem it is perhaps of the disc of a valve.. one dominant blue too much elevated.. perhaps the balance of the white of the camera.. and with a little point of unsharp mak have a major deatils!!! optimal detail on the Gassendi craters.
very well done, my best wishes..

Thanks to all... I have a cunning plan to improve this... I had the camera basically swinging around the end of the telescope, so keeping the image still was a huge problem. In future I'm going to plonk the camera on its own tripod as well, to provide extra stability. I can't believe it's taken this long to think of that.
Roberto, I think your work with the unsharpen mask is a signpost to getting more out of the shot than I did... I've got a full moon in a day or two, and if the sky's right I'm going to have another go at this... there's really not much to choose between the b&w and the colour image is there, except whenever I look at a b&w astronomical image, I always wish it was in colour, because it's that beauty that attracted me to astronomy in the first place.. even when the colour version looks very similar to the b&w...
Again, thanks to everyone who's commented. And thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of the Academy. And my mother and father.

Thank to you Laurie..
Also you tries with the moon to "sickle". The striking reaction is really good!
The good one of the moon is that when he is in growing phase o decreasing has the rays of the sun which model it in 3D.
If furthermore you want to try you can block the dark part of the moon...

WOW....Only once in a blue moon can you get a shot like this huh? (pun intended) I love how you can see the craters. I look forward to seeing your full moon shot. Great image Laurie.
Thanks also for your comment on my Limbs image.
Cheers - Ann :)
