Description

Good seeing has been announced and so I took my chance on the up to 65° high Moon. Transparency not the best, but at least the seeing has been good.

Title: 142parts (!) mosaic of the first quarter Moon

Description: I know...it's insane - and I had not planned it that way. I wanted to use the 174MM camera with 4,8 times larger sensor area than the 462MM I in the end had to use, but the 174 showed a very strange behavior under Sharp Cap Pro, so I did not have much of a choice.
My computer worked the whole afternoon for that 13524 x 7020px (original) large 142parts mosaic which I'm showing here reduced to 5000px and still here you can zoom in and make out such small craters like Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin.
