Moon in Ha 18th July

Nothing terribly exciting... clouds came in to spoil the fun with tonight's DSO imaging, so I took the opportunity to use them as a poor man's ND filter.

Details: 37x 0.175 sec frames taken with a GSO RC8 + SBIG STF-8300M + Baader 7 nm Ha filter (0.685''/pixel image scale); stacked with wavelets in Registax 5.1.

Thanks everyone. it was nice to capture an image, even if it was of the moon instead of nebulosity :)



Thanks Jo. They're both the same image - the second one is simply a 100% crop showing the full detail from the first.
