neil phillips Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Moon poorly placed at the moment shooting in daylight, low down around 20 degrees. But first light for my ZWO 178M mono camera. Wanted a larger chip for this kind of thing. looking promising. Now need to try it with the 10" Newtonian when the moon is higher. At higher power. Evostar 120 Refractor. Player one IR685 Filter.

Trevor N Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Nice image Neil. Looks very smooth with the new camera. The moon is certainly a challenge from this part of the world at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop1 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Nice image Neil. Very evocative of some of the Apollo mission Hasselblad pictures. The image has 'atmosphere'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigT82 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Very nice Neil, is this a mosaic or single shot? Are you controlling the camera with Sharpcap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 3 pane mosaic with lots of overlap Craig. Cant quite get the whole lot on the chip. But its not that far off. At 900mm FL with the 120 frac undersampled. I did a 1.5x drizzle then downsized to 75%. Yes i was using sharpcap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastCannuck Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Tons of details buried in there. New cam looks great! Now, if only we can shoot some night time. I forget what its like. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fun to keep practicing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
