Description

Just to give an idea of what the small telescope can do when imaging the Moon.
Not much, of course, given the limited aperture and focal length, however the Seestar has a dedicated lunar mode that allows you to create, besides single shots, short MP4 movie to save on your controlling device (phone or tablet) and optionally an avi movie with all the frames.
I processed this one with the usual procedure I use for lunar and planetary lucky imaging and I obtained what I think is an appreciable result in the context of the limits of the setup.
It must be pointed out that the onboard computer tunes exposure and gain automatically to obtain a rather uniformly illuminated moon, without overexposures, something not easy to achieve when shooting the Moon "manually".
