Went out for about 45 minutes last night and captured some more luna images.

Seeing was ordinary again, so I used the 2x and 3x barlow instead of the usual hi-res 5x powermate shots.

Here's the first completed image from the session - Aristarchus and Schroter's Valley. It's an area of the moon i'd often admired in others images, but never had the chance to capture myself.

Processing was difficult due to the bright crater walls of Aristarchus and the low sun angle of the rest. I used 8 point MAP processing on this image, and layer masking on the crater wall so it didn't get overexposed when raising the levels.

Approx 300 frames were stacked on each alignment point. Used the DMK21AF04 with R+IR filter, 30fps for approx 1 minute.

Thanks for looking.
