93% Moon 07/02/2020 130PDS

Hi, I've not done lunar imaging in a while so I'm fairly happy with how this one turned out, no gaps! This is a 14 panel mosiac taken at 1300 focal length with a ZWO AS224mc, Skywatcher 130PDS, x2 Barlow, and a Skywatcher HEQ5. I used a ZWO 850nm filter and filmed in mono 8. I actually focused on a star before imaging using FHWM values instead of eyeballing it on the moon.

Software used was Sharpcap for capture, Autostakkert 3 for stacking, Microsoft ICE for the mosiac and Pixinsight for processing. Each panel used the best 5% of around 4000 frames. Comments and criticisms welcome as usual.

Very nice! 5' aperture can really do a lot

Cheers Craig, I do like my 130PDS.
