Floyd, when The Moon is out, there is not much to do as far as imaging goes...
Of course, you could always shoot Ha, which does not suffer from LP or Moon Pollution... wink

Do You Have The Visual Squigglies?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
You are most likely talking about "floaters"..., and my solution is to blink my eyes to clean them up, before viewing through the eyepiece. (of course, YMMV) 8)

You can synthesize Green from Red & Blue Channels, but nothing beats having REAL data...

What size secondary mirror for 6" Reflector with 2" EP??

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Steven, forgive me if I misunderstood, but diagonals are not used normally on a newtonian... the eyepieces go straight into the focuser itself.

Back to greyscale practice :-((

Luca, that is a wonderful shot! Excellent detail & contrast! 8)
But what do you mean you weren't able to produce a decent color shot? (I do not recall seeing anything bad/not good/awful from you... or anybody here...)

Don't be too harsh on yourself, and keep at it... giving up color imaging "should not be it"... 8)
