Nice shot Junwei! What is the telescope used? So wonderful to see a clear first quarter Moon after the horrible weather over the past few days. [smilie=cheer.gif]

yeah man..was good past midnight , scope used is my one and only Skywatcher 80mm f/6.25, 12.5mm celestron "old school" plossl

If tonight is clear I will try using a 20mm to project instead, hope can get to try...

Was enjoying saturn's views, think without a tracking setup i cant do EP projection on planets..too dim and through a DSLR viewfinder i can hardly see it :(

Regards,
Junwei

Hi Junwei. Nice mosaic attempt! Thanks for sharing.

This is a quick edit of your image to tease out a bit more details. Hope you don't mind.
