The Marius Hills
Decided to shoot the moon last night.
Captured Oceanus Procellarum with the Marius Hills - a region of volcanic domes whose heights don't exceed 1,500 feet. Their name comes from the nearby crater named Marius, whose diameter is 25 miles.
Captured using a 10-inch Meade LX200 Classic, coupled to a Nikon D5100 in movie mode. A 20-second MOV file was coverted to AVI, then stacked in Autostakkert!2. The final stack was then moved to Photoshop CS6 for final processing, and Lightroom 5.5 for enhancement.
Magnification powered by a custom-built barlow lens.
