On monday may 24th I shot some images from the Moon with the TAL 200K, a 10mm Lanthanum eyepiece (200x) and the Baader IR/IV Blocking filter combined with the Baader Contrast Booster. Here are the first results.

On Saturday the 24th of April I observed a 4-day-old Moon, especially the area around Mare Nectaris, Fracastorius and Theophilus and Piccolomini. A detailed report will be published in the Solar System section. Here are two images of the Moon taken with a Nikon Coolpix 4500 and the TAL 200K.

On Tuesday the 30th of March I observed together with a fellow observer who just lives down the road. He owns several telescopes but tonight we tested the Skywatcher 10-inch newton on an equatorial mount. We compared views of the moon, planets and some deepsky objects, using different eyepieces. We also took some pics of the moon and saturn. I will post a bigger lunar image next week in the solar system section. Here is a first unprocessed image we took with the Nikon Coolpix 4500, a Vixen Lanthanum 25mm eyepiece and the 10-inch Skywatcher telescope.
