Some Shadowy Lunar Close-Ups
We've been completely starved of clear sky here on the east coast but last week (3rd April) a night of thin high cloud was good enough to tempt me into a lunar session. I was pleasantly surprised that conditions were quite stable, and I was able to view quite comfortably with the binoviewers at 300-400x and really enjoyed closeup views of a number of different features, and was fascinated by all the long shadows across the craters.
I wasn't sure how things would go imaging, but since the cloud was a fairly consistent thin blanket I thought I'd give it a go and took a number of videos before putting the binos back on. Given the conditions I opted for the IR850 filter and an asi178mm.
Some captures better than others, but pleasantly surprised by the level of detail even under cloud. Still feel I could do a better job processing but time is short these days so happy to receive any comments/suggestions/critique to help for next time.
