Description

This was imaged as a practise session in preparation for the Mars occultation the next night.  The seeing was particularly good for my location .  It encourages me to try some more Lunar imaging.  I used plate-solving in ASTAP at 0.25°, using high gain and 30 second exposures, for the first time, triangulating on some star clusters.  This helped me to locate planets more accurately.  The capture dimensions were 2328x1760 pixels, Gain 80.  Sharpcap was used for polar alignment.
