Description

Last night (11/19/2020) I imaged the waxing crescent moon sinking in the west along with Jupiter and Saturn, a grouping which many of us have been enjoying for quite a few nights now. I used my cell phone to capture a wide-angle backdrop and composited a more magnified image of the moon with the wide-field. The more magnified lunar image was taken with a 200 mm FL, 60 mm guide scope. The camera was operating at about 100 fps and I took five 20-s videos which yielded a total of 10,000 frames. Of these I stacked 200 best frames. Quite a sight!
