It's 700KB, so I can't upload it here. Hope you can read it at:

42 frames, 5 mins apart, C8 + 6.3 f/r + QHY8, cropped to just the moon.

Can't post it on free web space?

A mate suggested to me to put the images into microsoft (pwuah, wash you mouth out) movie maker and upload it onto YouTube.

Worked for me.

I'll try hosting it from home for now.

There are some fairly savage firewall rules. Let me know if you get a connection refused error.

Looks nice, thanks for sharing.

Andrew, your link points to http://rivendell.andyhood.net/Astro/ instead of the correct
http://www.andyhood.net/Astro/ resulting in a DNS error.

Now I can see it. Looks very good.

That looks great :thumbsup:

Thanks Alex. It needs flats applied to the originals, and the focus is a bit soft. 42 frames 1581x1581 would make for a pretty big GIF.

All frames were shot with the same exposure. Viewed with the naked eye at maximum (11:38 UTC) it didn't look nearly that dark.



That's what happens when you have split DNS and cut & paste links from inside. I fixed one of them but not the other. :(

Yep, looks excellent, well done Andrew.

Cheers

New larger version with better rendering, and somewhere a bit easier (I hope) to download.
