We were warming up leftover risotto for dinner when I noticed the moon in the blue sky. I thought I had 10 minutes to take a few quick pictures. I grabbed the AZ-GTi and C6 and plopped it outside, quickly screwed on a Wratten 28 onto the ASI 178 MM to cut out the sky glow, hooked up the laptop, did a one star align and was ready in 4 minutes, mostly waiting for Sharpcap to start up. I forgot gain was 310 due to my DSO photography so the view was overexposed to say the least. Quickly adjusted exposures down from 400 ms to 3 ms, and shot 3 sequences along the terminator.

How was the risotto

My risotto is always nice! I went out later (after the Dragon launch) and spent some time observing the Moon with various eyepieces. The view was excellent - even holding up well at 280x magnification.
