moon

The moon continues to be high and bright, making any attempts at DSOs (especially with the light pollution at home) mostly fruitless, so here’s the moon, waxing gibbous:

• Subject: The Moon
• Camera: Sony A7S II
• Telescope: Astronomers Without Borders Onesky 130
• ISO: 640
• Shutter Speed: 1/640
• ~2400 frames (MP4 movie), best 600 stacked
• Quality-estimated/weighted/cropped in PIPP
• Stacked in Autostakkert 3
• Pixinsight - Color Calibration, MultiscaleLinearTransform wavelets
• Darktable - Levels, sharpening

I have to admit I forgot what a tremendous pain it is to take photos through the AWB Onesky’s focuser – such a nightmare compared to my new refractor. Still, much more suitable (for the time being) for moon photography, since I can use a 2X barlow.
