Spring Moon (OAG Test1?)

I was using the moon to set the focus of my new Askar Off Axis Guider (OAG) for the Edge800 setup. I was happy with the Orion ST 80 system I was using, however, I wanted to use it for other things such as the 2024 Eclipse so decided to get an OAG. It was a success as I set focus of the ZWO ASI120 guide camera to the main camera focus. Before I go any further, this guide camera will not work well or at all with the OAG and have a better matched camera on order - the ASI220. Although it did not detect any stars while on M43, I did manage to guide on some other targets but more about that in another post.

After three years I finally imaged the moon with this telescope. While doing the test I decided to play here for a bit with the ASIAIR. Typically when doing high resolution work on the moon it is best to make a short video and then stack it to make the image. While I did find and use the video function on the ASIAIR, the videos I thought I made were not saved - Oh Well! When all else fails, read the directions.

I did manage to collect some test images. This particular image was a 500us (0.500ms), Gain 0, shot taken with the ASI294MC Pro and about 15 minutes of processing.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
