Lunar Mosaic from 18/04/21

Finally finished the mosaic from data taken on the 18th. Used my new asi290mm and astronomik 742nm pass filter and very pleased with the result. 19 panels, each the best 50% from 5000 frames (took up nearly 400GB of my hard drive!) The pass filter makes such a difference and so much easier to line up the panels.

Wow!!   GREAT work!  I am guessing this is from your C9.25 with an F6.3 reducer?

[Roy Foreman]

Very nice - well done !

Thank You! It was with the C9.25 but not with the F6.3 reducer, it was at its natural F10.

I love the sharpness of the image. Looks great.

Splendid image. Wonderful amount of detail, and masterfully processed!

Best detail in a full mosaic ive seen in quite some time. Makes me eager for a bigger scope again

Thank you! The C9.25 had been on my wish list for years and during lockdown last year I thought, 'What the hell..'. And with the £400+ price increase since I'm so glad I did!

That's a brilliant image. Well done. Trevor
