Waning Gibbous Lunar Mosaic 2016-10-21

Aberkenfig, South Wales

Lat 51.542 N Long 3.593 W

 

53 Pane Mosaic.

 

Each pane captured with a Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian & ZWO ASI 120MC Astronomical Imaging Camera.

 

Each pane processed with Registax 6 then stitched with Microsoft Image Composite Editor.

 

Levels slightly adjusted using G.I.M.P.

 

Good to very good seeing conditions during the captures. 2000 frames captured on each pane using Firecapture. About 50% - 55% used on each in the stacking process. The lava wrinkles of Dorsa Smirnov & Lamont show up well on maximum expanded view. Quite pleased with the end result on this one.

 

Best viewed using the expansion arrows.
