Description

We had very good seeing here in Maryland overnight on September 5/6 - a really rare occurrence. I had technical issues early so missed the opportunity to image Saturn, but did get Jupiter and lots of lunar images (some to be posted later). This image was produced from the best 20% of 9,569 frames from a 2-minute length video. FireCapture calculated the effective focal length of the imaging train as 7,500mm (i.e. f/31).  I thought the image looked a bit better smaller, so reduced it from 600x600 to 540x540 (i.e. by 10%).
