The Moon 08 Mar '17 - Windy!

[Sierra Golf Mike]

Here is what I managed to capture last night, it was very windy but I got something! Taken with the Mak 102 and Canon 600D, this is 39 stills taken at 1/250 s, centred and aligned in PIPP, best 25 Stacked using AutoStakkert, Wavelets done in Registax and finished of in Photoshop.

This second shot is the best 25 of 52 taken at 1/100 s, processing as above. I though this might have been much worse being taken at 1/100s.

well done Steve, getting the hang of it now

That looks really good, unlike mine which looked ok through camera but were out of focus when I downloaded them

Thanks Jules, yeah getting more confident with the processing and having fun!

Nice and sharply focussed with plenty of detail visible there.

Very nice images. The main thing is that you are enjoying the learning curve.

Lovely job, all good now I'd say

Thanks guys for the kind comments, progression has been exponential getting to this stage but I will always be learning. Now that I can get decent images, I now want to start learning about the maria and craters and get to know what I'm capturing.

From a noob yet to take the first picture, the first one here looks great!
