Hercules and Atlas

This is the first attempt using my new Imaging Source DMK21AU04.AS imaging camera. I have no experience in using a webcam prior to taking this photo. I used a Takahashi Sky 90 on an EM-10 Temma Mount. I attached the camera at prime focus using a 5x Powermate. I took 1500 frames at 30 FPS and staked them in Registax5 using 160 total frames. This photo was taken May 28th, 2009 at 10 PM in my suburban back yard in Englewood, CO. No filters were used. Seeing was 3/5 and the moon was 23.1% Waxing.
This is an older moon shot taken July 27, 2007. This was taken using a Canon 30D and Prime Focus through a Takahashi Sky 90 on an EM-10 Temma Mount.
