My First attempt at the Crescent Moon
Hi all, This is my first attempt at capturing the moon with a webcam. I have done a few single shots with a DSLR before. The shot was taken with a Canadian Telescopes TVV3000 (whatever that means) 3 mega pixel webcam style planetary imaging camera. I picked up the camera at a starparty in Canada last year for $26 from a guy who won it in a random draw (it was the last $26 I had in my pocket and a take it or leave it offer.... good deal for me I think).
Anyway, shot through an Astro-Tech AT65Q Apo Refractor on an Orion Atlas EQ-G..... yes, very over mounted and set up on my wooden balcony (you could see the movement with every step.... but I didn't have any other options). Using Registax the final stack is 169/338 frames. I had a few troubles with the alignment routines as it is a really big sensor for a web cam, but pretty happy with the results.
Thoughts???
