Wow. Great detail for a very difficult to photograph object (difficult for
me, that is). Good work, Adriano.

Very nice.

I tried this field many times with film an a 10" f/8 Cave. Never could
catch the seeing just right. Web cams make it so much easier today. I
should give it another try.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Thanks George,

I rarely image the moon and only took this as a test shot preparing for
Jupiter. I was pretty surprised at how it came out; I don't usually have
good luck with Lunar imaging.

You definitely should. With your setup and a steady night you should get
amazing results. With Jupiter, it rotates so fast that there's a limit
to the number of frames you can get before rotation becomes a problem.
With the moon, I think you're just limited by drive space.
