Earth's Moon - Playing around with Autostakkert and Lucky Imaging

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

The Moon the morning of Sunday June 19th. First time playing around with video mode, Autostakkert and Lucky Imaging. This is better than anything I've been able to do single shot with my DSLR. This image is derived from a 2.5 min video I took of the Moon. Autostakkert takes a video, analyzes each frame, then allows you to stack the top "X" percent of frames - goal is to produce a better image vs. single shot - AKA - better signal to noise, just like deep space image stacking.

I took the output from Autostakkert into Photoshop, cleaning up a bit of noise and applied a filter.

You may see in the gear section I had an Optolong L-eXtreme filter in the scope - Not by design, I forgot to remove it. I had been taking deep space images this day and went out at dawn to bring the equipment inside - Noticed the moon high in the sky and... What the heck... Lets take a video of it... this was shot @ 4:42AM eastern.

Next time I'll be more cognizant of exposure - There are some blown highlights - This was just a test - I was just fooling around.

Comments welcome.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
