Full Moon

Just been going through some data I gathered previously and found some shots of the Moon while Saturn was behind it a couple of months back, so here we are. I've always thought Full Moon was a no-go, and it is lacking in shadow detail of course, but I still had fun making this all the same...the bonus with Full Moon is you can see all the controls on your kit without needing a torch

This was taken with my Canon 1100D using my C8 Edge HD mounted on an EQ6, 10 frames of 1/1000s stacked in Registax and tweaked with wavelets. This is 1/16 of the original file area.

It's very sharp and clear. Is that a mosaic Dunk?

Thanks chaps! The Canon was taking a whole gulp from the baffle tube, no such mosaic wizardry here I'm afraid... I really wouldn't know where to start

Lovely Dunk - great focus and wavelet magic. Vid cams are not the only Lunar way to go!

Thanks chaps! I never expected much from a full Moon but still

Not even sure if I'd be able to get that exposure time on my planetary cam, can't say I've tried it yet, but certainly not the FOV.
