Moon 3rd of April

This is a better version of the moon image from the 3rd. The last one was made from an ASI071MC. A good camera, but since it is a color camera, they have only one color per pixel. Meaning that the resolution is poorer than the ASI178MM. Even with using binning 2x2 on the 178. So here is my best effort try for the max resolution.

Growing moon

New image of the moon. This is at april 3rd. And I have used the ASI071MC Pro for this one. Two images combined. Gain 290, exposures 1000x4 ms. Processed in AS!3, wavelets in Registax.

Not april's fools

There has been a string of clear nights with the Moon this week. So I have used the opportunity to take some images of the moon. This evening (april 1st), I tried using my ASI071MC Pro. The advantage being that I could get the whole Moon inside the frame. So no mosaic. And it did come out pretty good. I used the same setup as before, except for the camera. No binning, gain 340 and exposure 4ms. No wavelets this time. Will maybe try later. The only downside, was the ginormous filesize. 32 GB for 1000 frames. Took a while to process. I did use my ASI178MM too, and will try the mosaic later. But for now, this is the image. 16 megapixels.
