Luna 23/01/2021 (DSLR + Telementor)

[vineyard]

Managed to spend a quick stint with the Telementor and 10-O.  The moon really is beautiful!

I thought I'd try a quick DSLR grab (sometimes it's too much faff to take CMOS camera, cables, laptops etc), so I just put an old Pentax K70 in and recorded a MOV.  Used PIPP to turn into AVI and then ran it through AS!3, ImPPG and little bit of GIMP.

Was curious to see if it would do a better job than a CMOS (an ASI178MM is about 6MP, the K70 about 24MP but in colour so equivalent to about 6MP mono?).  Not sure about it - its ok when seen at small scale but there doesn't seem to be as good resolution as previous old lunar images with a faster ED APO if I zoom in.  Maybe I didn't get focus nailed (especially as its just a single-speed?).

Stay safe.
