Description

I'm constantly surprised what can be  achieved, and have been enjoying "to the moon and back" which is showing on BBC iplayer - a momentous voyage for mankind. Rather less impressive but given this was taken in broad daylight, I've adjusted the contrast and saturation to show off our moon at last quarter. Framing was perfect with my 2x barlow and Altair 183C OSC, giving a focal length of just over 1 metre in my Zenithstar 80ED semi APO. All mounted on my Star Adventurer 2i in lunar tracking mode, it won't get me into orbit... 57 x 0.001s frames stacked in and processed in Nebulosity v4, sharpened, and colour saturated to show off the detail.
