Description

Here's my first Moon image and taken with the ED127 and ZWO174mm. Conditions were almost perfect: it was crisp, clear and the Moon was high near the zenith. Being my first time imaging the Moon I wasn't sure how it would turn out. The capture process was similar to Solar photography that I have been recently working on.

I have to give a shout-out to my friend @Edward Overstreet for his helpful Solar and Lunar tutorials on YT. Thanks Edward!!

Gain = 120
Brightness = 60
Capture Area = 1936 x 1216
25% of 1500 frames = 375

Thanks, and CS!
Eddie
