It's not great, but then I was trying projection photography through my crappy eyepieces and, considering how small it is, and how difficult it was to focus, it seems far more successful than my attempts on the moon. I notice that the top left is white and the bottom right is red, I suspect that's chromatic aberration in action as the three channels all look slightly out of alignment in the Gimp. I can't work out how to move colour channels independently of each other in it, though.
I got a couple of Burgess Planetary eyepieces for Christmas! It's actually clear tonight, but very hazy looking, so I figured it wasn't worth trying them out. I did point them at a hill earlier, just to make sure they seemed ok, and could see a cow. One of them had two big black blobs which looked awfully like chips in the lenses. I couldn't see anything on the lenses so I was stumped and worried I would have to send them back. Then I noticed that they come apart and you can access the lenses on the inside and what do you know? Big black lumps of something on the inside lens. Two seconds with a blower and it was sorted.
