Default Moon Shots with Orions APO

Seems to be a lot of talk here, both good and bad about this scope so I figured
I would share these pics. Also if anyone is interested, on the Yahoo ED80 group
there are a few people doing some impressive deep sky shots with this scope .

Nice pics.Interesting comparing the different scopes color correction.The
90mm f/16 does very well!

The APO shots show a little more color than is actually seen visually. Visually
there is none on the moon up to about 180x. To take the close shots with the
APO I have to use the cameras full optical zoom and add a 5" extension between
the barlow and EP. This is because the only EP I have with enough eye relief
for the camera is 30mm. I think this combination is somehow adding some of its
own CA.

The F16 was a nice scope but way to long for me.
