Description

Warm morning, 4 am, after testing some things in the GSO RC10 reflector (what can U do with almost full moon) I decided to quickly capture the full Lunar disc ;) The just-a-bit-shy of full Moon is rotated so that the main streak of Tycho's impact material is visible diagonaly, I imagine it is like a good katana slash in a Japanese cartoon

To make file transfer easier I've used mono-bin, kind of software mono-superpixel provided by ZWO (in theory it works like a ca. 30% effective mono sensor, instead of 4xRGB it gives 2G+RB). This reduced the big 24 Mpix files to 6 Mpix. Captured 10k mono frames and later redrizzled (x1.5) a bit of resolution!

12% of 10k frames, gain 0, 33 ms, top-notch SNR, good seeing despite low altitude, no band restriction at this scale
