The Moon, Day 4 and a test

The day ended with clouds in the North heading in, and clear towards the moon. I grabbed the Skymax and 450d on a camera tripod and took a shot of the moon. I'd like to get a good sequence of each day and make a montage, but I don't think it's going to happen...



Then, after getting the moon shot, I spotted some planes flying high, and figured they'd be good practice for panning at these focal lengths for when the ISS is passing through and I get a go at imaging it up close. Not easy to do, and it's a bit dark given the time, but it's worked. I feel I need to do some more of these practising, it's actually quite fun too. This was tracked using the Celestron 6x30 finder I'm using on the Skymax
