annoyingly blurry

You wot!? That's fantastic for a tripod-steadied/handheld shot!

Tip for avoiding mirror-shake - hold a piece of cardboard in front of the lens, open the shutter, remove the cardboard. Obviously a bit tricky for the 1/60th exposure but works fine for lengthy time exposures of star fields.

Try about 15s pointed at the Pleiades (mind you, you'll have to wait a forthnight until the Moon's near new.)

Excellent work mate - what were your settings? A shorter exposure at the same ISO will give you a more contrast to work with, but the right limb detail is terrific.

3216 x 2136

... which means the raw images, uncompressed, must be about 19.7MB?

Cheers
