Description

First time trying to assemble an entire moon mosaic, and failed! I missed one small piece, darn!! But it still turned out well. I really think the C6 and ASI678MC combo work very well for such an inexpensive setup. The moon was approximately 95% full, and this is 9 panels combined. Each panel is 2 minute video at 14fps (something off there, full speed should be much higher, but it still worked well enough), 3840x2160 and 12 bit (I would have used 8 bit, but there didn't seem to be any hit on fps so went for 12), 10ms, 25 gain. Best 250 frames of each were stacked in Autostakkert and sharpened in ImPPG. A little local contrast bump and saturation. pannels were simply aligned manually in Gimp, and there edges blended with layer mask.
