Description

This Moon image was taken at Blazing Star Observatory, near Salem, MO, on December 16, 2015. The telescope was an Explore Scientific ED127CF. The camera was a QHY5L-IIc.

Eleven 500-frame videos were captured. The best 40-50 frames from each video produced sections of an 11-piece mosaic. The processing software was Registax 6, and the compositing software was Microsoft ICE. Final image processing used Corel PaintShop Pro X8.

The master image is 328 mega-pixels (640+ megabytes in TIF format).

Click here for a zoom-able version of this image on Google Photos. (Note: The zoom-able photo on Google Photos is 1/9th the size of the master TIF file. GP wouldn't handle anything bigger. If I find a venue that can accept the full image I'll add a link to that instance of the image.)
