99% Full Moon

This image of the 99.1% Full Moon was captured on Tuesday night, 20th August from my backyard using my Canon 6D and ED80 telescope.

- Large
Canon 6D, ED80 telescope @ ~1000mm FL, ISO250, 1/100s exposures.

I snapped 130 images but with the unsteady atmosphere, I only used 30 in the final stack. Sharpening was done using wavelets in Registax, followed by contrast and greyscale in Photoshop.

Image 2 is an embarrasing pic of my dirty telescope gear with my 6D

It reaches a focal length of around 1000mm, which almost fills the frame of the 6D, as you can see from the Live View shot in pic 3.

Thanks for looking.
