Description

My goal here was to try stacking a ridiculously high resolution moon using the full focal length of a 14" SCT plus a 2X Powermate, but the seeing and/or my focus was off and the frames didn't look great. I also took some shots without the PowerMate, though, and Dana Weisbrot stacked them for me after I picked out the 10 best frames by eye.

Even with a full frame camera, the moon doesn't quite fit in the frame, so we had to stack each quadrant separately and then I stitched them together in Photoshop.
