Some nice lunar scapes from a night of good seeing

[Dennis]

Hello,

Friday night in Brisbane (21st July 2016) turned on the good seeing and I was able to record some nice lunar AVI’s using the Tak Mewlon 210 and ASI174MM.:)

Most AVI's were recorded at 3000 frames and I used AutoStakkert2! to align, stack and combine the best, followed by Wavelets in Registax 6 and finishing in CS6.

Cheers

Those are great Moonscapes Dennis and the seeing was really good on 19th and 21st - conditions not seen for a while.
The ASI174 allows a nice large area too.

John.

Thanks for your comments Matt, Stuart & Dave, I appreciate them.

It was quite unusual to have such good seeing in Brisbane during the winter months (28 deg C today!) so I was quite pleased with the outcome.:)

@ Dave – I’ve lost a little of the passion for packing stuff up in the car and then spending sleepless nights at distant places amongst snoring astronomers, so sadly, I will not be attending this year.:sadeyes: Maybe one day the passion will return?:shrug:

Hope you have a great time up there – have you progressed to hiring a big truck yet for all your gear?:thumbsup::lol:

Thank John, I had to reduce these to tighten up the image quality so the big chip of the 174MM does help!:)

Thank you Derek, I appreciate your comments.

The Moon is such an enjoyable target (I know – blasphemous to deep sky folks!:P) and so easy to find.

Classy shots, Dennis! Almost makes me feel like trying my hand at planetary... but I figure I don't have time for yet another addictive vice :lol:

These are some of the best lunar images I've seen. I thought they looked like they were taken from orbit, truly ,Great effort.:thumbsup::)

Again, fabulous Moon shots mate :thumbsup:

Thanks Rick – you’ll probably burn out your sensors though, as your imaging system is not used to managing the overwhelming, copious volumes of photons in such short periods!;)
