Lunar sunrise time-lapse

[GreatAttractor]

Last Friday I finally got around to doing a Moon time-lapse. I wasn't sure what good the small Mak would be, but changes are indeed visible:

 

 

SW Mak 127, PGR Chameleon 3 mono (ICX445) with Barlow in the nosepiece (~1.6x), Baader red 610 nm filter, around 2-minute intervals, ~4 h total from 7:15 PM local time. The sky was of course quite bright in the beginning, so frames' brightness has been normalized in ImPPG. Too bad the seeing was steadily deteriorating.

Very nice result. Never seen such a time lapse before

Very interesting. If I watch the shortening shadows it gives a real sense of the sunrise.

Sunrise over the lunar alps? Splendid .

Outstanding. Very nice work indeed.

Thanks, guys.

Ultimately, I'd love to be able to do this with my 300 mm Newt, but I guess it'll have to wait until autumn.
