May 8-9, 2017: 38-pane 112 Mpixel lunar mosaic

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Managed to get a load of lunar data. 38 1000-frame SER files taken with my C8, ASI178MM, and a Baader 685nm IR pass filter to fight wobbly seeing. I also had an ADC in place. The Image came out pretty sharp despite the low altitude of the moon.

Viewing at full resolution very much advised.

Superb result Michael, what software did you use to stitch the mosaic frames together? Geof

I used Microsoft ICE. I often try both AutoStitch and MS-ICE, and just use whatever gives best results. In this case MS-ICE won
