Well I did try last night. My outfit for such occasions is a bit cumbersome. See post 9.

The scope gives a fixed aperture of f13 which makes focussing a bit tricky to say the least. The scope does not have a fine focus control and in this level of light viewfinder focus confirmation does not work. Focussing is a bit of a nightmare

So the whole thing is a bit hit and miss & I thought this a bit soft. By the time I had looked at this on the pc, shifted position onto the patio, a more stable surface, and set up again the moon dissapeared behind cloud. Waited for over an hour after that then gave up.

Focus is not dead on so I have added rather a lot of usm to compensate.

Taken at ISO400 1/125sec at f13. Exposure increased by 1EV in NX raw conversion.
