Crater Coppernicus Region 15/02/19
First light for my new ZWOASI120MC cmos camera which I got for Christmas. We've had the mono version for years and I loved it, but it stopped running on my Windows 8 laptop and nothing we tried would stop it from crashing each time I plugged it in. So I haven't used it for a very long time and it's in fact now used as a guide camera in our observatory set up! I got the colour version for Christmas but hadn't even plugged it in because I assumed I would have the same issues that I had with the older camera. Today I just figured I'd give it a try and to my astonishment it worked!
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a William Optics 70mm refractor, and the ASI120MC camera with a 2x Barlow attached. The whole assembly was on an EQ5 Pro mount on a permanent pier.
2,000 frame video shot using SharpCap, the best % frames were stacked using Autostakkert! 3 Beta and wavelets adjusted in Registax 6. The image was then processed in Lightroom, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic.
