It was a K3 mounted on an refractor telescope, 102mm aperture, 714mm focal length, this makes it f7. This was mounted on a tracking German Equitorial mount. Both images were shot with a neodynium moon filter. The second image used a x2 Barlow Tube. This made the focal length 1428mm at f14. Shutter speed on the first image was 1/200, second was 1/80.
