Description

First successful moon mosaic - Oct. 31, 2023

First light on my new monochrome ZWO ASI533MM planetary camera.  For this mosaic, I did a nine-panel (3x3) pattern resulting in a 115 megapixel image.

I processed each panel separately. That is, capture image in FireCapture, stack in Autostakkert, wavelets in Registax, crop in Registax and finally combine in Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE).

Obsession 20" F/5
D=508mm, L=2,556mm
Gain 0
Exposure 2.5ms
no filter used
60 second capture for each panel
best 50% stacked for each panel
