Hi Efrain.
Very nice close ups of the Moons craters. As you know the Moon and the inner planets are my best study, but I hope to reach out there as soon as out weather permits it. Well done and clear skies to you. Paul

These are too good, I don't believe you have a telescope. You probably just live on the moon.

Those turned out great. You are getting some very high resolution to be seeing some of those tiny craterlets.

Hi Kyle, Thanks it was not the perfect night it was dancing all over but at 2000 frames taken only 200 plus frames used. Clear Skies
