700k - spot the join!

Another poster has commented on focussing - I find this very hard wioth
just a simple rack and pinnion focus track (and no 'fine focus' like I'm
used to on microscopes.

Hi Tony

Besides a small notch at about 4 o' clock I can't see a join in the 700k
image. The earlier moonshot was the first I've ever taken with the Canon
350D. One of Pete Lawrence's earlier shots encouraged me to give it a try. I
took a range of shots with differing exposure lengths to get a feel for the
setting. Next time I'll take a range of shots before and through what
appears to be the focus (which was achieved through the viewfinder).

I've taken a number of moonshots with the Meade LPI that exceeded my
expectation and after mooching around your website I look forward to seeing
the results you obtain with a webcam.

Regards


Chris
