Moon near full 24-7
I was looking up at the near full moon and decided to try to get some detail near the rim. All photos on a 7 megapixel digicam at 2x optical magnification, f4.9 at 1/30s coupled to my 3" f/8 reflector with a 9mm eye piece. The files are rather large so follow the links. The third is a composit of 10 frames merged in photoshop.

Matt, how do you fix your camera to your eyepiece? I think you did mention it before but I cannot remember. Your images are really excellent.
Phil

Thanks for your encouragement. I am afraid a small piece of dust got into my coupling hence the shadow. I will find that this evening. I have updated my coupling to two linked PVC pipe adaptors cut down to hold the eyepiece flush with the camera lens. Everything is held in place with fine adjustment screws. It cost about $6 Australian.
I have added some detailed crops from the raw photos http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...SWlimb27-9.jpg http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...thPole27-9.jpg Kind regards Matt
