First attempt to Luna with DSLR

[barbulo]

When doing some testing last night with my gear, our dear moon appeared in my FOV, so I decided to give a try with the Canon 600D. I've taken pictures before (actually videos) with my ASI224MC but never with a DSLR. 

This image is the result from stacking x15 subs (at ISO800 in Av mode -1/640s exposures-) with AS!3 and processing the outcome with RegiStax and PS. Maybe a lower ISO could have prevented overexposing (like Tycho crater). 

Comments and advice are appreciated.

Pretty good barbulo.

Look at the Histogram on the camera LCD, and select a Manual shutter setting that keeps the right hand end of the "hump" away from the right hand end of the display.

So for instance, instead of 1/640s exposure, try 1/1000s.
