Testing a simple Acro on the Moon

It had been more than one month acquired Explore Scientific 127mm achromatic without having the opportunity to test it. I bought it in order to use exclusively for solar photography coming but the opportunity to test it with the moon did not miss the chance.

Although seeing was not the best and the wind messed up a little, the small opening that allows tele photos when it is impossible to use the C14 because of high turbulence.

Of course it has its chromaticism, yet is greatly reduced and a Booster Contrast filter Baader makes it almost imperceptible.

I can not say that his optica is superior to Sky-Watcher 120mm acro I own but the mechanical part is certainly higher. The differential is a focuser account Crayford 10: 1 which greatly facilitates precise focus to photography.

In short he did not disappoint me, however, exceeded expectations and soon should I post pictures to close I made using a barlow 3X Tele Vue.

I googled and did not find lunar photos of good quality with this tele nor with other acros 120 / 127mm with only APO same opening.

I hope that this work anime staff to give more value to these telescopes low cost and excellent performance.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
