Lunar South Western Limb 2

Date of image 10/11/2016.

Hardware details: Camera: Canon 550D in 640X480 movie crop mode 60fps. ISO 800 exposure 1/640s. Telescope: SW Skymax 150 MakCass. No filters were used and the camera was at prime focus. Mount: EQ5 Pro. The scope was focused using a Bahtinov mask on a bright star. The stack is taken from about 5 minutes of video (~18000 frames).

The details of processing are the same as the first attempt image. I may have tweaked the gamma but that is the only difference.

Comments:

The image shows the heavily cratered southwestern region of the Moon. Lots of deep craters, very hard to pinpoint the the location of the image when looking at a detailed Lunar map (such as the Lunar societies atlas). This image is showing a region slightly further north than the previous capture (see location map).  The image is of similar sharpness to the previous image. Maybe this is as sharp as the atmosphere will allow this time round.
