The following three images were taken with a last quarter moon rising in the east,
approximately 5, 20 & 15 degrees up in the east. The images were processed in Adobe Photoshop CS
to compensate for the moonlight. The Canon 20Da was mounted piggyback onto the 16" f4.4 telescope
in the observatory and hand guided during the exposure. I am very pleased with the red response of
these first test images with the Canon 20Da.
