Description

I missed a TINY piece of the disk! Drats!  I wanted to shoot in IR and the moon was a tempting target! My camera's IR sensitivity is about 45% or so at 850nm and above for all three RGB channels so this is effectively a monochrome photo. I'm not sure how much I benefit from reduced seeing using an IR filter, but I will eventually make a comparison against my CLS and Oiii filters. This was also the first night I was able to shoot using my new GSO Crayford 2-speed focuser on my ETX125. It worked wonders in reducing image shift while focusing which is a huge problem in the Meade ETX line. I think my "ETX makeover" is complete and the scope is essentially unrecognizable from stock except for the original optics.
