Lunar South Western Limb 3 - Shiller and Hainzel
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 southwestern region of the Moon including the Shiller and Hainzel craters. Shiller is right on the terminator and the ascending its rim on the left just catches the Sun's rays. This image is showing a region slightly further north than the previous capture (see location map). I Look forward to trying Lunar imaging again to see the effect of different atmospheric conditions on the final image.
