Copernicus

Having completed my webcam imaging setup, motor drives and motor focusing assistant, I decided to shoot some quick peeks from Moon and Jupiter. Here is the best I got out from crater Copernicus. It is a definite improvement in resolution compared to digital camera images . I can't wait to try it again on more favorable illumination!
