Some Low Res Moonage (First light with the C11)

I finally got a break in the clouds for little while last night. These images are all captured at secondary focus (f/10) of the C11 with the DMK 41AU02.AS.

Best 100 frames out of 500 stacked in Registax 5, "Dennis" wavelets applied. Some may have had a curves adjustment to lighten them a little, and maybe a little extra Smart Sharpen. I had exposure set to produce a mosaic of the whole visible moon at the time but closing clouds put an end to that. The 2 frame mosaic was assembled in PS3.

I did attempt some hires images as well, but struggled with focus in the poor seeing conditions (and being out of practice I forgot all about using a UV/IR filter)...
