Aristarchus
Very successful night last night. More work on tweaking the system and actually got the collimation tweaked using MetaGuide. Also got a nice little widget in the form of Mini Controller for Meade LX200 to run the telescope from the laptop, works nicely. At the time of imaging the moon was around 94% illuminated and I was drawn to Aristarchus because of the remarkable rille, Vallis Schroteri.
Setup is a Meade LX200 GPS 12" f10 on an EQ Wedge, Zwo ASI224MC at prime focus. The image run was 2min collecting 7685 frame with 11% stack and processed with AS4 and adjusted with Registax.
What is remarkable about this image is how clean the data was which made the end product, so striking.
Stay tuned.
Cheers
