Moon 22 December 2021 with 742nm IR-Pass filter 5000px mosaic
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2022 7:36 am
The moon from 22 December 2021. Only a partial mosaic, my mosaics are cursed 
: again incoming high clouds.
First time using the Astronomik IR-Pass 742nm filter which gave very crisp and detailed result which show very well in the 5000px full screen.
Have to get used to this filter though: the cut off to black is rather abrupt. Think I have to use a higher Offset/Brightness with it.
Full 5000px version is here: https://i.ibb.co/Wxw25HT/maan-221221.jpg
Meade LX200 8" f/10 ACF OTA
Ioptron CEM25EC mount
Astronomik IR-Pass 742nm filter
Zwo ASI385MC camera
Captured with SharpCap at 0.1 sec. Saved as 17 SER files of 5000 frames each.
Stacked each capture with PlanetarySystemStacker. Used the best 4% of each SER file (so stacks of 200 frames)
Stitched the 17 stack to 1 mosaic with Microsoft ICE.
Final processing in Photoshop. Just a bit of sharpening, highlights and contrast in the Camera RAW Filter.
