Lunar South Western 4 - Hainzel A, C and Capuanus

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 still shows the Lunar southwestern region but moving slightly east, showing the Hainzel A, C (the double crater), Capuanus (infilled to the right) crater and the Palus Epidemiarum. This is final image stack of the night because the Moon was now already behind branches of a nearby tree. I assume that this is what is reducing the clarity of the image .

Overall, I really enjoyed going Lunar! I will be great fun comparing the same features under different lighting (terminator) conditions. I also don't need to faff about with guiding or stay until 4am to finish a set of subs!
