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.
