Lunar April 2nd qhy5-iii-585c 1st light

[Space Cowboy]

First colour lunar ive done in about 10 years and its with the new qhy5-iii-585c.

I didn't set the colour balance correctly during capture so its rather a blue moon. Few crater burns too but pleased with the early results considering seeing was awful.

Taken with Auto Dob 250 at prime focus for the 3 pane mosaic full disc and 3x tv for f15 on Plato.

Thanks Neil I've just looked again at the mosaic and 2 panes does the job so didn't need the 3rd! If my mathes are correct that means 6 for f15 or 3600mm 💪

Not sure you'd be happy with 40fps at max resolution. Then again if it were 100fps I'd fill the SSD in 10 mins! 😜
