Description

Trying out different imaging configurations in pretty good seeing.

Main revision is a mosaic at 1280 mm focal length (C8 + 0.63x reducer) and UV/IR filter for RGB colors.

Revision B is crater Endymion at 4800 mm focal length (C8 + 2x Barlow + ADC) and IR642BP filter.

Revision C and D are craters Langrenus and Petavius at 3000 mm focal length (C8 + 0.63x reducer +2x Barlow + ADC) and IR642BP filter.

Amazingly, the configuration with reducer and Barlow gives the best results in my seeing. 3000mm focal length (f/15) gave me the best lunar shots ever. The 4800 mm image, in comparison, is much softer and has less details.
