Hi Jim;

Very nice. I like the first attempt better as it looks more natural. The crepe ring looks really good as do catching those faint moons too.

I finally got essentially second light on my new AT8RC OTA last night too. Seeing was not good, but I did shoot as yet unprocessed prime focus (1625 mm) series of Moon movies last night. Those are the first show able images I've taken since December  2010.

I'll have to wait until the moon sets before I can test it out on DSO's, but I'm hoping to do some star collimation tests if the weather ever settles down this week.

I sure do not miss the mirror shift that my C8 had, especially when focussing.

TTYL..
