The Moon 05-02-17 21:20

Nice clear evening, I was mainly observing clusters and doubles but the moon was so inviting I had to capture some frames as well.

This is 50 frames out of 150 at 1/320 ISO 100. Cropped and aligned in Pipp, stacked in AS!2, wavelets in registax.

And for giggles I captured some video of Aldebaran about to graze the moon, here's a single from that.

Nice shots. I got some video of the moon occulting Aldebaran last October. It was mystical watching Aldebaran disappear and then re-emerge from the moon's limb.

Regards,
