Friday 3rd March brought a snow storm which started at 3.30pm. After an hour or two of heavy snow, the skies cleared to reveal the most beautiful Moon, idealy placed to image from the conservatory door.
The garden looked beautiful in the snow, particularly the Weeping Willow Tree full of snow. I imaged the garden with my Sony Cybershot camera and the Moon with the Skywatcher ST80 Refractor. I have been waiting for a Moon like this to test out my Rocal Reducer (which came from Australia!) I found that with just one extension (ie: one Barlow Lens case) the Focal Reducer worked fine! Some super images of the Moon with the reducer, can now see the whole of the Moon on the CCD on the Toucam Pro II.
The final image is a combination of the tree and Moon merged together on Paint Shop Pro by using different layers.
