Not much luck imaging the Sun at the moment- too cloudy or too low, or......
Anyhow, last night the sky was beautiful and clear, so another opportunity to image the Moon.

Re: Reflected Sunlight- First Quarter Moon
Beautiful detail Stu, looks like everything is working very well now Oh I am such a wimp, I should have gone out last night but it was so cold and I was so tired after decorating the kitchen all day. Even tonight looks good but I can't bear the thought of the cold, I am a useless astronomer!

Re: Reflected Sunlight- First Quarter Moon
Many thanks Pedro, Rainer, Alexandra, Franco, Derek and Mark. Comments are always appreciated.
Rainer, the scope is this one...http://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/aarc250
Alexandra, I know exactly what you mean.... out in the cold/dark vs being out in the Sun..... the Sun has it, although I'm still getting to grips with the scope and collimating it and the moon makes an excellent alternative target.
Thanks again everyone.
Stu.
