Luna at 2000mm

[bn1777]

Just got in from another session with the moon after work tonight , beautiful .
I used my new 2 inch 2x TV Power Mate giving a f/l of 2000mm , nice image scale at that .
As usual Sony Alpha 200 DSLR , photos raw , only sized for this site .
I love the contrast this 127mm achromat provides , awesome stuff .
Enjoy and please comment .

ps. I posted 2 on CN's in my thread , not the same photos as these 3 , different exposures and ISO's so have a look , it will be interesting what the nay-sayers have to say wont it ? .
I cant detect any CA on any of the 30 odd photos I took even zoomed right into the limb .
The only colour is the blue moon that was behind a cloud bank , it just come out this nice blue colour .
( had to open a new thread for the 'Blue Moon' )

Hey Brian, I don't think anyone will be negative with these images. Actually, I think people are tired of the bickering with Istar threads. Your post has been peaceful up to this point. Let's hope it stays that way.

Thanks Mike , yes some things get old , but the quality of Istar objectives and OTA's will go on , I will try and stay up till 3.30am tomorrow morning and shoot some more , I know I can focus a little better , had to stop this morning because of clouds ! .

I just went thru all the shots I took the other morning , man I took over 60 !! easy to do , so here is what looks like the best one must have hit a nice steady air pocket .

Brian, these are one shot images with the DSLR. Not stacked video, right?

No straight out of my Sony A200 at IOS 800 and about 1/400th a second from memory and straight into my computer , only sized to fit the website .
On processing Mike , I have seen some super shots ,but to me they aint real .
I think if you want to look at nice sanitised moon or DS shots , go buy a glossy hardcover book , there are plenty out there .
No these are as it is , natural .
