Description

Though the air was way too turbulent for a barlow I dared to employ the 2.5x Powermate inspite of wind gusts which did not confuse Autostakkert. At this magnification the exposure time was between 8 and 15ms at gain 300, too slow for freezing turbulences. This is the limit of what a C8 can perform, actually it is beyond but fun to try. Better results can be expected when the air is (absolutely) quiet.

When you look up to the moon with your bare eyes all you can see are patches. Being able to look into craters with only a 20cm telescope and a small camera fills my heart with gratitude.
