August Full Moon

August Full Moon

 

Often called the called Sturgeon Moon because of the large number of sturgeon fish that were found in the Great Lakes in North America this time of year.

 

My first successful Mineral moon. Saturday evening after returning home from the Super Star Party at Lake Metroparks Penitentiary Glen Reservation that our Astronomy Club attended, I looked up at that full moon we had just been viewing and thought I need to shoot it. At first I used my DSLR/telephoto lens in my driveway. But then thought let's try my rig at Starfront in Texas,

 

Turned out the FOV was perfect. So I captured 1 two minute video each of LRGB. The seeing was great and the rig tracked perfect.

 

Equipment:

Stellarvue SVX102T and Flattener

#zwo ASI533MM, ZWO AM5, EAF, EFW

#chroma L, R, G, B

 

Acquisition: Sharpcap
