More astrophotography

Pretty good seeing tonight, as opposed to last night which was awful. This is my favorite phase of the moon, as it highlights Copernicus, Clavius and Tycho. This was shot completely handheld so I could use my 35 mm eyepiece that gave me a fighting chance to capture the entire disk in one shot. The Magnilux didn’t come with the larger bracket needed for the 1.25″ eyepiece barrel. I should get that shortly so I don’t have to shoot 40 images just to get one or two good ‘uns.
