Stacked image of the mid-northern Lunar terminator region on 04/01/2016 (~17:30) with the craters  Eudoxus (bottom left), Burg (top left), part of Posidonius (top right) and the mare Serenitatis (right).

Telescope: SW 150mm F12 Mak-Cass. With a Baader fringe killer filter.

Mount: SW EQ5 pro with extension pillar.

Camera: Canon EOS 550D in 60 frames/s movie crop mode, ISO 400, exposure 1/60s. I took 3 minute recordings (10800 frames).

Processing: Movies were initially processed in Pipp, keeping the best 2000 frames and decompressing them. The decompressed frames were then passed to Registax aligned using 100 points. The best 90% of the frames (using the Registergraph) were kept and stacked. The final image was enhanced by amplifying the first three wavelets by 80, 20, and 5 respectively. The Gamma was reduced to 0.8. Drizzle 2x was also used.

Comments:

This image shows the middle lunar region slightly away from the terminator in the mid-north region of the Moon. I really enjoy the contrast between the hilly terrain of the Montes Caucasus (bottom left) and the smooth floor of Mare Serenitatis. Very happy with this one!
