Description

Captured at twilight, 2020-04-08 and 2020-05-15, showing approximately 45% and 11% phases.

Celeston AVX mount, Celestron C8 scope, 2x Barlow, Wratten #25 red filter, Altair 183M camera.

SharpCap 3.2 capture SER 2000 frames @ 1920x1200 gave 35fps, Autostakkert best 25% of 2000.

Prior to stacking, PIPP was used to centre a crop the frames in the videos.

At the May capture, with the planet much lower in the sky, it had the appearance of being boiled.
