continuing the luny tradition - mad may

its almost full moon , the difference between 96 percent and 98 percent is that i have to process two halves and stick them together as it doesn't fit in the frame of view of the scope and camera. didn't do a great job of that and the image is rubbish - been a very long time since i did this. so we have may the 5th and may the 6th

If you have a shot from every night you should make a little time lapse of the all the phases.

I might have missed a couple days with cloud

You've posted some wonderful moon images and if it's only a couple of days, it may be worth winging it in Photoshop or video editing by interpolating from images either side of the night missed ± some smoothing gradient to feather out on the dark edge.

If it were me I would certainly try it in a video editing package with a 50/50 dissolve between the images either side of the missing night/s as a possible "easy" solution. With say 1/2 second per image that would make a nice but adequately brief 15 second video of the month's moon phases and probably not make the the "interpolated" images seem that obvious. Of course there's no guarantee that exposure/brightness wouldn't also need to be played with depending on your initial image parameters and moon position in the sky.

Will need to get more shots after tonight but might miss a few with weather.

David, may I ask you why are your moon shots back to front (mirror imaged)?
My brain nearly locks up when I look at them.

I know and I deliberately leave it that way so I know my images. You are one of only a few who have noticed
