Great video. Enjoyed the images especially with the moons around planets. Great lunar image too

[@RefreshingViews]

Glad you enjoyed it, Craig.

[@neiltonks]

Another great video. I particularly like you show a real image of what you can see through the eye piece.

[@RefreshingViews]

Thank you very much, yes it was great fun and interesting to compare the raw feed with the processed imagery.

Some people live below the clouds, some people simply wonder, at such wonderous sights far far above the... Clouds*

Cheers John

Cracking viewing before bed, I don't get much chance to see the night sky at the moment as my alarm for work is going off at 04:30. I have never seen the apollo 15 landing site before and never even thought about it to be honest so that was an impressive one for me

[@RefreshingViews]

Glad you enjoyed that. I don’t envy your early starts!

Beautiful Captures, I'm waiting to try Catching Neptune and Uranus This Year!

[@RefreshingViews]

Good luck - they’re great fun but hard to find! Have you seen Neptune next to Venus as they pass each other?

[@avt_astro206]

@@RefreshingViews unfortunately, I have not. It was kind of low on the sky. And there are Buildings Blocking my skies at 30° west!

[@HollomanUFOLanding]

Amazing images, well done!! Surely though the star ( or planet ;) ) of the show has to be Mars - that video alone that you captured, even before the stacked image, is absolutely incredible! Was the seeing particularly good that night? Thanks for uploading.

[@RefreshingViews]

Thanks for that and yes the seeing was great that night - unusually so.

[@kennethwilson8633]

Mars was giving us a thumbs up…

[@RefreshingViews]

I like that!

[@AstroRef68]

Is that eq6 R as you use it as Al-taz

[@RefreshingViews]

That’s right - in altaz mode although I’m currently experimenting with it in eq mode to see what difference that makes.
