Gibbous Moon close-up [Explored]

This is probably the best view I have ever captured of our natural satellite.

I used a canon 600D camera with a barlow lens x2 at prime focus of a 200/800 mm Newtonian.

 

80 pictures were stacked together to reduce atmospheric aberrations.

 

Technical Datas :

Canon EOS 600D + 200/800 mm reflector + x2 barlow lens +meade lxd75 mount (lunar tracking)

1600 mm (+ cropped picture)

80 x 1/320 secs exposure

ISO 800

F/8

Autostakkert + Registax + Lightroom softwares

Location : Brittany, France
