Description

Moon mosaic of 35 tiles shoot on 24 March 2021 with SW Maksutov 180/2700, B&W IDS

Each tile consist of 3000 pictures acquired with FireCapture, 10% stacked with AS3, AstroSurface (Deconvolution Richarson Lucy 1.8 x50, sharpen strength 8, radius 2.0 noise 0, crop to remove the noisy borders), mosaic with ICE, Astrosurface for a light local contrast + minimal HDR), final processing with Gimp 2.10

The Seeing was exceptionally good 5/5 the Moon quite high in the sky. This night I shoot only the Moon starting with the mosaic: 250 GB of data.

Luckily no Pacman style of the mosaic this time. It was close to have some hole.

Even if my best mosaic, it's not yet perfect and had to compromise for the background. Do not invert otherwise it will be too much visible. ;-)

Then as the seeing was exceptional I try the barlow x3 that I thought I would never use anymore with this telescope. I shoot some closer snippets. I will publish some of them individually and also a composed image. It was fun to search for the name of the craters with Atlas de Lune.
