Lunar Mosaic 30.7.07 (Full Moon)

[StarLane]

I shot this on Monday night 30th July. It's a mosaic made up on 35 images taken using the eyepiece projection method.

Equipment,
Scope: BT-252 10inch F5 newtonian reflector, dobsonian mount.
Eyepiece: Pentax 10mm XW
Camera: Fujifilm Finepix S3pro DSLR
Exposure details: Each shot was taken at 1/60th second ISO400.

This is my 2nd attempt at a lunar mosaic. Can't wait for the eclipse.

Thanks Al, It's made up of 35 photos. The photos are straight from the camera with no processing, they are just stitched together and resized for the net. I thought if I adjusted the levels etc, I would loose detail in the highlights. As it is, the camera (with the extended dynamic range turned on) has captured good detail in the highlights and the darker areas, although I reckon the colour is not spot on.

Very nicely done Paul. Excellent mosaic.
