Full Moon at last!


I have waited for months to capture a full screen image of the Full Moon. Can't do that with my Skywatcher 130m as the image is just too big and the focal reducer don't work!. I know that it can be done with the new ST80 refractor with the focal reducer giving the whole of the Moon without making a mosaic.
Well, the Full Moon came late, about 12.00, but it only just cleared the roof tops, so I waited until I could get a clear shot. Then, guess what...clouds!!
Gave up in the end so had to pack up and go in. I really wanted an image of the Full Moon and at about 1.15am the sky cleared and I quickly set up and managed to capture the images that I wanted!

Great...Full Moon at last!
