Re: [APML] Lunar Eclipse
Nicely done George!
Some nice images AND some lessons learned - can't beat that! Looks like
I missed a nice eclipse - we had snow instead....

Subject: [APML] Lunar Eclipse
We had clear skies outside Montreal for the first half of the eclipse
and I decided to try my hand at prime focus work for the first time.
Here are the results

Lessons learned, set the drive controller to lunar instead of sidereal
(duh), additional damping of some sort is needed for the seconday, and a
brighter focusing screen is needed.

Clear skies and good health
