Waxing Crescent Moon - 10/10/2013 (Processed cropped and rotated stack)
Captured in Backyard EOS Planetary 1X mode. Post processed using Registax6 to align best 20% of 500 frames. Further processed with Adobe Photoshop CS5. This version rotated for effect :)
1X collapses pixel density by 5X, so resolution is lost, as well shown here, compared to capture at 5X with a subset of the pixel array (and so a narrower field)
Telescope - Apogee OrthoStar LOMO 80/480 with Hotech SCA Field Flattener, Hutech IDAS LPS-P2 filter, Canon 40D DSLR field 106' x 159' , Ambient 14C. EQMOD EQASCOM with Ascom 6 for mount control. Backyard EOS 2.09 for Image acquisition. Mount - Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro. Guidescope - Orion ShortTube 80 with Star Shoot Auto Guider and Stark Labs PHD auto guiding software.
From 2013 Where to next?
