Waning gibbous taken at daylight (14/09/2022)

[NenoVento]

Hi all,

This morning, at about 9 am, I made this capture:

Basically I saw the opportunity (a very clear morning) and decided to give it a go. Also, I wanted to try using imppg with a stacked image, instead of going to registax to play with the wavelets with the sharpened (by autostakkert) version. I quite like how it came out.

The gear:

• Sky-Watcher HEQ5
• Sky-Watcher Evoguide 50-ED
• Optolong 1.25" UHC filter
• ZWO ASI 224MC

The software:

• CDC
• EQMOD
• SharpCap
• Autostakkert
• IMPPG
• The gimp

Thanks for looking,

NV

Hi @ONIKKINEN, yes. It seems like the trick is pairing small aperture scopes (such as the evoguide) with small-size pixel cameras (such as the ASI224MC).
