Three Lunar Craters as of 2nd May 2020

[WilliamAstro]

After accidentally deleting my three processed photos of my three favourite craters, I felt bothered to reprocess them again.

My three favourite craters are Plato (top), Copernicus (middle), Tycho (bottom)

The Moon was around 70% illuminated at it's waxing gibbous phase.

This was taken with my ZWO ASI120MC-S camera with a GSO 3X Barlow.

The telescope used was Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT.

Each single exposure of 5000 frames was taken at different exposure if it was too dim/bright which would drop/increase the FPS.

80%/4000 frames stacked in each single exposure.

Very good seeing conditions.

 

Gear Used:

Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT, ZWO ASI 120MC-S, GSO 3X Barlow

 

Softwares Used:

Sharpcap, PIPP, Autostakkert2!, Registax V6, Photoshop CC 2019

Very nice.

Must admit to sharing your liking for Plato. Catch it right and you get a wonderful display as the shadows move across the crater floor.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, Plato is always fascinating the way the floor craterlets pop in and out of view as the Sun rises.

Nice images.
