Guest Lad98 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Well here it is, my very 1st pic. The moon was full but I just had to have a play with my new toys. https://www.flickr.com/photos/123515925@N07/ Think I have gone to far in the processing, or I'm just not very good at it yet. Not quite hubble standard but I'm well happy with it for my 1st go. I can see many late nights coming up . Don't think the wife will be pleased, oh well. 82 81 25%sa lumit by garymaddocks, on Flickr Edited April 17, 2014 by Lad98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
