Description

I took this image of the Moon from my backyard in Oswego, IL. USA on July 18, 2021.  I had my equipment connected to the ASIAIR Pro at the time and was unable to take videos for this shot in order to do lucky imaging.  The reason is that ZWO severely limits the resolutions that videos can be taken at using the AAP and even with the highest res available I would only be using a fraction of the chip on my ASI2600MC Pro and could not fit the whole Moon into the shot.  So instead this is a stack of 100X 150ms images taken with the full frame of the sensor, debayered and stacked with AutoStakkert 3, deconvoluted with ImPPG, and just trivial adjustments with Photoshop.

This image made me realize I've been taking the Moon for granted, but it offers a lot of amazing features.  I look forward to taking a quality high resolution image of our companion the next time that I have the opportunity.
