Thanks!

Unfortunately, it didn't translate exactly as I expected it to when dislayed in the thread.

I have edited the original posts so that you can see the original images, which do a much better job of telling the story... where taking a little time to think about what the final result *could be* can strongly impact the quality of your images - even when you don't have a telescope at hand with which to tell the story...

Bottom line... you will definitely see what I expected you to see when you look at the originals.

I'll remember this in future... As great as this board is (and I do think that this is a really great forum for the amateur astromer)... sometimes, you really need to give the user the choice to see what you meant them to see.

Charlie,

I saw the same scene last night as I was setting up my scope for my own moon pics. I was wishing I had a 40mm EP (just a guess) so that I could have had both in my viewfinder. But since the 25mm is the longest focal length EP I have, I had to settle for a few quick shots of the moon by itself. My shot of last nights moon will be posted shortly.

I didn't even have a scope available at the time! The focuser is off my scope at present in order to provide precise measurements for a custom adapter to be used to replace the old shifty focuser with a new Moonlite crayford focuser. The adapter is ready, and I'm off to install the new focuser tonight!

There's more of a separation between Venus and the Moon than you'd think. I have a 2" 32mm EP that I've used to look at the full Moon. It has a pretty wide FOV, and I'm pretty sure that I couldn't fit that view into that EP on my scope. I took that shot with DVcam only at full zoom, and you can tell from the image size of the baby Moon how widely separated they really are...
