Description

Calm air = good seeing, but poor transparency due to 90% air humidity. Actually an unfavorable condition but after two months rainy season I could not resist the first mostly clear but hot tropical night. The 24 days old moon posed low in the sky, 25-30° but calm air made imaging of the waning crescent worth while.

The 10-panel mosaic is a quick capture of 250 frames each at 142fps, 7ms, gain 200, in mono8, 10-bit ADC. The individual images in the revision are made of 600 frames each. All 1.5x drizzled images taken at native focal length.
