Hi everyone,
Well the ASI 174mm got real work out last night.
Despite the mediocre conditions, the results to me appear quite pleasing. The wide field of this camera makes it great for Lunar imaging, and during the capture sessions on my 17" laptop, I did indeed have a slight illusion of being in an Apollo capsule.
Generally captured 20,000 frames at about 40fps, then sorted the best 5,000 frames in PIPP, then stacked the best 3,000 frames in AS2, before wavelets in Registax 6 and Deconvolution in Photoshop.
