Moon buggy - 15/11/2013

[Luke]

I was a bit poorly last night and it was quite misty / lightly clouded, but I thought I'd pop out briefly with my grab-and-go undriven kit to nab this image of the moon with my ED80.

Please click image for (slightly) higher res.

I used my 7nm H-a filter to try to cut through the light cloud/mist and stacked about 1100 out of 1700 frames, which seemed like a high percentage, but the quality graph looked good in Autostakkert, as it normally seems to do with the H-a filter shots.

And here's my attempt at an inversion:

Nice images. Take care not to overdo things when you have a fever!

The inverted version looks like a Jovian satellite....

Thanks all

Stunning!  Love the inverted one it looks really alien.  Well done.

[Luke]

Thanks, Lee! I'm glad I managed to get an inversion looking okay, my first effort was a bit of a disaster and ended up in the Trash Can!

Interesting.  For me the inverted image makes it much easier to read as a sphere.
