2 Moon M44 Composite
Target:Full Moon Feburary 2021 "Snow Moon" set against the backdrop of M44, Beehive Cluster in the constellation of Cancer.
Location:26/02/21 St.Helens UK.
Aquisition:Moon:100x 0.006s (OIII), 100x 0.006s (SII)
M44:20x 30s (OIII), 20x 30s (SII)
Equipment:Imaging: Skywatcher Esprit 100ED, HEQ5 Pro, Zwo ASI1600MM Pro, EFWMini, Baader Narrowband (OIII0 and (SII) filters.
Guiding: (starfield only) Skywatcher 9x50 Finder with Zwo ASI120MM.
Software:Aquisition: NINA, PHD2
Processing: Autostakkert, Registax (moon), DeepSkyStacker, Siril (M44), Photoshop (compositing, post processing).
Memories:After an imaging run on the Jellyfish nebula came to a close with low altitude I was left with no more narrowband targets left to image. Decided to image the full Moon with narrowband, mapping (SII) to Red, (OIII) to Blue and 50% both (SII) and (OIII) to create a synthetic Green as no RGB filters in my filterwheel.
