Moon Request

[Dippus]

My mate at work wanted a big moon picture.

First real stab at the moon , so after fiddling with the focus and the QHY8 settings for about an hour , ended up with this.

Click for the huge-a-tron to work.

very sharp, is it one image or a mosiac?

Hi Gaz

20 stacked single images. F6.3 through LX-90 + QHY8.

Fiddled in registax (and i mean fiddled, 2nd time using it) and levels in photoshop.

Ended up having to use an Astronomik 807 planetary filter which Bernard from Modern Astronomy sent me by accident (Should have been a CLS filter) but it came in handy as the QHY8 really struggled with the brightness.
