My latest attempt at Lunar shot. ED127 with 2x barlow, Meade DSI II x 100 images. Captured with Nebulosity. Stacked in Registax. Slight sharpen in PS.

Nice image Frank. How was the focus?

David,

The focus wasn't too bad but I have just put a moonlight electric focuser on the scope and bought a batinov mask and have been waiting for the clouds to clear to get more imaging done.

Doesn't look too promising this weekend though.

Sunday night should be good according to forecast. I hope to squeeze a few subs in. :) Nice pic btw.

There is a slight anomaly on the upper left limb which looks like registax has not aligned all the frames properly which would make sharpening far less accurate.
Select the better single 20 frames and align select after a zoom.
