Thoughts from this night:
I like the 585MC but it is slower than the 462MC at the same resolution. I think the 4x larger chip will really shine on lunar. 
This target was tough... Nearly impossible to focus well. I dont know if it was seeing or that it was so low but was very unsteady to day the least. There was a lot of color abberation on the screen, but stacking and aligning RGB channels helped a lot to remove it. I definately erred on the side of underexposure to not blow out any of the image as much as I could.

Please feel free to share any thoughts or improvements I can make if you have a moment. It's appreciated.
C&C welcome
