First lunar imaging run with the new camera

Monday night I had my first play with the new (to me) ZWO ASI533MC Pro. At the end of the evening I spent some time doing some deep sky but, to get the hang of the camera, I started on a target I am comfortable with- the moon.

First off was with the Celestron C6 SCT and I did 3 X 1000 frame runs for a mosaic. 

As you can see, framing is something I need to get used to in comparison to the ASI290MC but I am pleased with the detail.

3 pane mosaic, stacked in Autostakkert!3 (best 10%) and stitched in ICE. No other post processing-

I followed this by marrying the camera to my RVO Horizon 72ED plus flattener in preparation for the deep sky experiment but bagged another 1000 frame run on the moon first.

Autostakkert!3 (best 10%) again with a bit of colour correction in Gimp-
