Lunar, 45% waxing, various

#1

Post by turfpit »

A test of SharpCap 3.2.6137.0 with updated QHY SDK.
Celestron CG5 mount, Skywatcher 127 MAK, Wratten #25 red filter, QHY5LII-M camera.
Stacked with Autostakkert!3 and post-processed in GIMP.
The Lunar Terminator & Endymion were captured with a Teleskop 0.5x reducer, the 3rd image with a 2x Barlow. All 3 images used the red filter - this seemed to work better than the IR685 filter in the damp conditions experienced.


Each panel 2000 frames @ 29 fps, MONO8, best 25% stacked. Stitched with Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
