What concerns the second picture – prime focus SW MAK 150 / 1800 mm / HEQ5 / DMK 31AU with filter Astronomic IR Pro 742. Exposure – 1/30 sec. Mosaic from 2 frames. Time is 20:30 at the evening at 02-05-2009. I have selected 600 frames from 1000 for each and I have send it in Avistack program.

I have using DMK31AU for only two months, but result it’s incredible for me. I have captured video of moon terrain with DMK mostly. Thank you for your company for a high quality budget product – DMK31AU03.AS.

Thank you Vasilev for these great images! Well done!
