November 7, 2017: 135 Megapixel, 49-Pane Lunar Mosaic

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Gathered a load of data last night: over 350 GB, mainly with the ASI178MM behing the trusty C8. Conditions were not ideal: details waved and boiled about rapidly, but capturing 1000 frame SER files, and stacking the best 200 of each with very many finely-spaced alignment point in AS!3 did yield stuff that could be sharpened well in ImPPG. Used 49 resulting panes to stitch a mosaic in AutoStitch. The result came out rather well, especially for fairly poor seeing.

Viewing at full resolution highly recommended, but seeing the whole image in that case requires a 11916x11916 monitor, I am afraid.
