Description

RGB, stack of 5 pictures in each channel. A little bit of color enhancement to highlight the subtle color differences. I was curious to see how my LHN performed on the moon. Its got a very flat field of view, no coma, and a fast f-ratio which is great for prime focus deep sky imaging. But, like all catadioptrics, the contrast just doesnt compare to the humble Newtonian. Still, I was pleasantly surprised how well it did. A nice sharp picture all the way to the edge with no hint of bluring.
