Sunrise Over Sinus Iridum and The Moon Maiden 2021-01-23 20.19.52 UT

Aberkenfig, South Wales

Lat 51.542 N Long 3.593 W

 

Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian, Tal 2x Barlow,

ZWO ASI 385MC.

 

3000 frames captured using Firecapture.

 

Approx. 1300 frames stacked with AutoStakkert! 3.1.4, wavelets with Registax 6 & final levels slightly adjusted with G.I.M.P.

 

Lunar south is uppermost. Reasonably good seeing.

 

The Jewelled Handle clair obcsur effect of the Montes Jura catching the rising sunlight never fails to impress.

 

The Promontorium Heraclides on the south western edge of the Sinus Iridum also provides another clair obscur effect known as The Moon Maiden.

 

Best viewed using the expansion arrows.
