Arthonon Air Combat & General Aviation Editor Hotshot Registered: 09/28/04 Posts: 5480 Loc: California	Nice shots, everyone. I'll add mine here, just as a comparison, shot with a 7D and a 100-400L lens, at 400mm: Paul, looking at yours, compared to most of the others posted here, it looks like the craters are in different positions. I'm guessing that's due to camera rotation, right? _________________________ Ken Cartwright No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood. http://www.techflyer.net

I'm guessing that's due to camera rotation, right? Ken, you are correct. My camera was attached to a telescope that was on an equatorial mount, which gives a different viewing angle when compared to a hand held camera or one mounted on an alt/az mount (such as a tripod). I may have had the camera slightly misaligned too . Oh, and very nice work there Ken. That's a keeper.. Edited by Paul Rix (03/20/11 09:56 AM) _________________________ Who are we?

Think it was dirty contacts on the handbox cable and on the Mode button on the handbox, I've cleaned the contacts and replaced the cable, seems to work but still occasionaly get a few corrupt messages on the display. it's been running for 3 hours now and is tracking an imaginary Jupiter _________________________ Chlanna nan con thigibh a so's gheibh sibh feoil Sons of the hound come here and get flesh Clan Cameron
