80% Gibbous Moon 11th May

Post by marktownley »

A clear evening meant I went out in the warm spring air to get some captures of last nights gibbous moon high in the sky.

First off the overview APM 100/800 and ZWO183mm camera. Double click to view in flickr then double click in there for full size, very pleased with this, just need the sun to be out more often when i'm not at work so I can do more solar with it :lol:

Then switching cameras for the ZWO290mm and using a 2x cemax barlow for a view of some features of interest:
