Montes Apenninus - The mountains on the Moon

[Lead_weight]

Shot this with my Celestron C5 Spotting Scope.

Best 15% of 3500 frames using a ZWO ASI462MC camera.

Autostakkert, with drizzle 1.5x and wavelets processing in Registax 6. Wavelets processing is some serious magic.

Wonderful image!

Very nice!  Extremely well captured and processed.

Fantastic image, especially with only a 5 inch scope.

What a beautiful image and lovely processing! I don't think I've seen a C5 in the flesh. I got a CG5 mount that kind of came with an almost free C6 once (it didn't cost much more than just buying the mount) and it was a lovely telescope. I underestimated what a cracking scope it was. I'd love to have a look through a C5 one day.

Yeah, I really think the performance of this scope is underrated. I've shot some great images of Jupiter and the red spot, which I wasn't so sure you could resolve well with a 5" but it did.

Here's Mars on this scope:
