Description

The waxing crescent moon (8.8% illuminated) on May 14, 2021. The illumination of Mare Crisium gives this image a real 'Death Star' vibe (for this lifelong Star Wars fan at least).

Imaged with a Astro-Tech AT60ED, with 2.5x Televue Powermate, Baader 685nm IR pass Filter, and ZWO ASI290MM. Imaging train was configured to give ~F/15 (FL=900mm) w/ the 2.5x powermate. Image capture using Firecapture. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 25% of 1000 frames). Processed in Registax (initial wavelet sharpening), Microsoft Image Explorer (panorama generated from 6 sub images), and Topaz Sharpen AI (additional sharpening).
