Daytime Moon from May 21st

[Luke]

Hi lunar friends!

This shot is two tiles that I took on the morning of May 21st, while waiting for my main target of the morning, the Sun, to clear the trees. I have really missed snapping the Moon lately, the weather has not been the greatest for it! It's a small mosaic of two tiles (I hope you can't see a join!), with 2,500 frames captured per tile, stacking about 500 of them, with some false colour added to the mono capture.

That's really nice. We should appreciate the moon more I reckon.

Top job, nicely done

[Luke]

Thanks, Peter, Robbie and Knobby 

Relieved you can't see a join, Robbie. I had a bit of a problem trying to sharpen this one and was running out of steam by the time it was ready to join, so it was a bit rushed joining it!

Peter, I love the Moon so much now, I definitely did under appreciate it for a while when the DSO imaging bug bit!
