Description

At 75 panels, I thought for sure that there was NO WAY I would miss any of the moon. Oh well, I captured most of it at least, The raw data was over 100GB, and before clearing it all once I was done with the picture, my Moon Mosaic folder was on the verge of 300GB. No wonder my computer was complaining about low disk space.

I am pretty happy with how it turned out, the bottom portion you can see a definite change of focus, this is from me setting up my telescope on a wooden porch and my brother jumping up and down to try and mess me up. I had no idea it was thrown that much off. Next night I try something like this, I'll be sure to set it up on concrete and not the porch.

75 panels were each 1000 frames with the best 50% stacked giving me a total of 37500 frames stacked.

Enjoy!

Version B was kindly edited by Rskingen over on Reddit, much appreciated! He did a great job touching up the imperfections.
