This is a single frame taken with my ETX-125PE and with mild wavelets (all 3.1) applied with Registax. I also used a remote switch and the mirror lock-up function of my Rebel XTi to give the mirror flop time to dampen out. If you look closely the sun is just catching the top of the central peak in the crater Theophilus on the northwest shore of Mare Nectaris. -------------------- -John ================================================ Homebuilt scopes from 4.25-16.5" Meade LXD75-N6/SN6/SC8, DSX-90, ETX-60BB, ETX-125PE, DS-2130 Orion StarBlast, BinoViewers, Coronado PST Rebel XT/XTi, DSI Pro (I, II, & III), DSI, LPI, Electronic Eyepiece, Phillips SPC900NC Tasco 60mm Refractors Post Extras:       StarWars Postmaster Reged: 11/26/03 Posts: 13815 Loc: CyberSpace Re: The Moon – April 30, 2009 1h 30m UT, ETX-125PE [Re: jgraham]       #3076211 - 04/30/09 12:00 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Fabulous photo! -------------------- Sony Digital Media player..
