Nice footage,

But there is 1.5-2 pixel Chromatic aberration that borders the moon. I believe it comes from Panasonic's lens which is not optically perfect. Normally Panasonic (and most of other manufacturers) correct aberrations digitally via camera's internal software. But when you attach a long lens or scope, software can not recognize such aberrations easily. Resolution is also not very impressive. Unless you exported the footage in very low rate, resolution should have been better. I believe this also depends on the Panasonic's lens. Because most Kowa scope's are best in resolution in current consumer market. If you can kindly indicate what lens and settings you'd use we can understand better what effects image quality. Or if you can use another better lens (i.e. leica apo etc.), we can see the weak ring in the chain.

Anyway the footage is better than average and actually quite good. My comments are just for perfection. Best wishes for new year.
