Yep, the moon shows much more detail along the terminator. Much like photographing landscapes down here, morning or evening is best, the light at noon is a bit flat.

I'm going to have a go on Friday or Saturday night.

However, every time I say I'll get my telescope out the clouds roll in.
But...fingers crossed

From what I've read, the main problem is heat and noise.
It is better to take multiple shorter images then "stack" them, either in Photoshop etc, or a dedicated stacking program such as Registax.

I don't think it damage the sensor as CCD chips are also used in CCTV cameras when they are on continuously.

For what I've needed to print, I've used Tescos.
They are good enough for my standards at the moment.

I'm looking at getting one printed on canvas and Costco have an offer on, so might try them out.

Good point ...

Plus Pentax were once known as Asahi Pentax and one of the Japanese brewers is Asahi
Which, I suppose, sounds a bit like " A Saki; please"

There are so-called beers I would (and have) turned my nose up at. Bud Light anyone, or perhaps a Coors? As the Wychwood Brewery ad for Hobgoblin says: "Afraid to taste something, lager boy?"

Now I have offended half the group I shall go back to work and hide...

K.
Or there was the other ad.
"Afraid of the dark, lager boy?"

my dad and I have a running joke during ale drinking sessions, whereby every so often a member of the party will feel the need to depart for a few moments to "top up the lager barrel". Can't stand the stuff.
I like that.
I can't stand Lager either. Haven't drank it since I was 16....erm, sorry, 18, honest Guv
