Description

After two weeks of waiting, a brief sky opening of one hour allowed me to take some moon shots.

Main emphasis was testing a Barlow lens 3x on this 12" Dobson :

With a 3x Barlow lens, the resulting focal length of 4500 mm is still not at the theoretical optimum when using a ZWO ASI 120 MC

Thumb-rule : f-eff = D x 5 x pixel-size ( D : 305 mm, pixel 3.75 um ) = 5718 mm

But the seeing was horrible and the Dobson tracking precision at the limits.

Anyway, I tried to make the best out of it.
