Moon Mosaic

Hi Guys,

Did a quick and dirty moon mosaic tonight.....

This is a mosaic of 8 images taken with a Canon 20D thru an eyepiece adaptor - 8mm Hyperion eyepiece - 600mm APO Refractor scope (equates to around 90x magnification I think not allowing for the sensor crop). Average .3 sec exposures at ISO 400

Small size.......

And the full size...... 8000x4300

I learned a lot doing this - in particular, the images picked up every tiny wee bit of dust on the eyepiece and the camera sensor (will have a clean session before doing it again) but over-all I'm pleased.

Next one will be betterer
