Montes Apenninus
This image was taken on 26/5 around 5am using a 130mm F5 scope, Skywatcher x2 Barlow and a Prostar LP-Guide-C2 camera with an IR cut filter. The image is a stack of 150 subs stacked with AutoStakkert, sharpened in Registax, then cropped and adjusted in GIMP. We particularly liked how the sun caught the steep slopes of the Montes Apenninus.
For this image, instead of using our Celestron moon filter to cut the intensity, we left the scope cover on with the small hole only open. Is this an acceptable practice or should you use the full aperture and the filter? BTW our filter plays havoc with colours.
