From my window to the Moon
Ok, if the skies are clear only at full Moon, I would shoot the Moon :)
07.03.2015, around 23:00-23:59 MSK.
Celestron NexImage on Vixen VMC110L (110/1035, f/9,4) on Celestron CG-4 on a window-sill.
22 panels of 500-800 frames (10-20% used) stacked in Autostakkert!2, stitched in Microsoft ICE, pre-processed in Photoshop and deconvolved in AstraImage 3 Pro (Gaussian type PSF, size 3 units, 4 iterations).
This Moon was very reluctant towards deconvolution...
I can's see Polaris from my window, so I have used AstroLocator app for iPhone to refine the alignment of the mount. Works good - no need to chase the Moon even at 1 meter focal length.
