Description

The waxing gibbous moon (68% illuminated) on April 22, 2021. Left image is RGB color balanced and right image has the color saturation boosted. Almost the same lunar phase as my image taken on March 23, 2021.

Imaged with a Astro-Tech AT60ED, with and without 2.5x Televue Powermate, Baader UV-IR cut Filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give ~F/6 (360mm FL) without the powermate and ~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 7 sub images for the f/15 version), color saturation boost using PixInsight, and Topaz Sharpen AI (additional sharpening).
