Here is a afocal picture I took last night while playing around with a f6.3 corrector/reducer. It was just nice to get outside and peak at luna for a little while, it has been way too cloudy lately...

Great work. I shot this same area last night at a little later your time but I havent processed it yet. I think that afocal work can be really rewarding for when you get the focus right, It can look really good on a budget.

Kind regards
Matt
