Full Lunar Mosaic April 16th QHY5L-ll

[Space Cowboy]

Second lunar outing with the QHY and despite the wobbly seeing and persistent thin cloud managed to grab a full mosaic taking 200 frames per pane (stacking 100) . Shot at f5 with full 1280x960 resolution using Auto Dob.

Taken with IR 742 pass filter:

“The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

Great Image!

Thanks again fellas! Nice passage Mr Unknown though I could write a similar thing about the cloud......always there watching, waiting until the cam is connected up and then BANG game over lol
