Some Lunar shots through the clouds

Well it's been difficult to do any kind of atro as of late with this weather but it was around midnight on Tuesday when I could see the clouds thinning out and thought I'd have a crack at some lunar imaging. I think in my excitement I underestimated how much cloud was still around so it was a hard slog trying to get stable captures...not the easiest conditions to work with but glad I was able to walk away with some happy snaps all the same!

Plato (probably the best of an ordinary bunch)
Doppelmayer & Vitello (which looked like a stunning snowcapped peak through the eyepiece but failed to impress with the capture)
Copernicus
Goldschmidt, Anaxagoras & the northern landscape

The usual setup...
c14 (non edge) @f11 with asi178mm (IR685 filter)
best 5% of 15,000 frames
3ms captures, variable gain to suit the histogram
AS!4, Registax6, PI for some much needed histogram tweaks!

Thanks for dropping in!
