First Lunar Image of 2024 - 17th Jan

[Roy Foreman]

The lunar imaging season is back - at least for part timers like me !

This image and it's selective enlargements were taken with my C9.25 and ZWO ASI 183MM camera with a Proplanet 642 IR filter.

30% of 2000 frames at 19fps, 5 pane mosaic.

The seeing was generally quite good, but as I was imaging in gaps between the clouds ( as usual ! ) there is some variation in sharpness between the panels.

Also, the degree of sharpening applied should be different for the whole disc and selective enlargements, but this time I got lazy and used the same for both, hence the selective ones might look a bit over sharpened !

In spite of these shortcomings, hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.
