I got a new tripod today that can support the telescope's weight, and also allow mounting for when the moon is high in the sky WITH a camera hanging off the back. Also used mirror lockup and a remote shutter release and the pics were quite a bit sharper. Only problem was trying to focus the telescope using the viewfinder. I now need a magnified view finder to improve focusing...
I took quite a few shots this evening, took the two sharpest, and then stacked them using
Lynkeos and ended up with this...
My apologies for the tight cropping, the moon moves across the frame pretty quickly at when you're effectively at 2320mm at f13.8 (I believe the telescope was 1450mm with a 1.6x sensor).
Now we just need a clear night next Tuesday
