My latest attempt, much improved from a month ago. Only had about half an hour of clear evening sky on Thu 22 Nov 2007 at 7:30pm but fortunately having an observatory means you can make the most of the limited opportunity.

Moon was 95% waxing gibbous phase, 38° above horizon in the south-east.

Canon EOS 400D was attached to an 8" SCT at prime focus via a f/6.3 focal reducer. 20 RAW images at 1/400sec, ISO 200 were taken then converted to 16-bit TIFs. 16/20 were selected and stacked by Registax then further processed using Photoshop CS and NeatImage.

Cheers from a rather driech Scotland at the moment.

Eric
