Copernicus Crater on the Moon

Taken with my ZWO AS120MM-mini guide camera Skywatcher 130PDS and a a x3 barlow. Video recorded in Sharpcap, processed in Autostakkert and sharpened in Registack.

 

It was my late father who got me into astronomy with the Moon being one of his favourites. I vividly remember his pointing this out when showing me.

 

I've not really got into closeup Moon photography before so abit of a first for me. My sister and brother came to visit and stayed in their camper van. My brother in law Nick is interested in taking up the hobby at some point so we set up the equipment. When the Moon is so full you have to take pictures of the Moon.

 

I'm not sure I sold it very well because there was a lot of faffing about. I've not done it for a while, it was cold, I was using my rubbish laptop and the seeing was terrible.

 

Anyway, we managed to get some pic's and in the end it wasn't too bad.
