Lunar Snippets

Full moon snippets when the transparency (air turbulence) was not as bad as the previous evening. These are just the 20 best frames stacked from a C11" EdgeHD using a ZWO ASI160MM and a red filter (Astrodon E-Series). Camera settings: 200g; 50 brightness; 2 ms exposures. Stacked and aligned using PIPP and AS!3.

I see you are starting to try out the tools now. Full moon is always hard work. As the waning progresses, some good targets will appear near the terminator.

Download Virtual Moon Atlas, select the Ephemeris tab, it is possible to input a date and time in the future to see what objects will become available. Click on craters to obtain detailed information.
