I am trying HDR shot after a long time. This is the waxing crescent moon (34%). Wanted to take more sets of other exposure settings, but sadly clouds took over.

Taken on April 7, 2022

### Gear:
- Camera: ZWO ASI462MC
- Optics: Sigma 150-600mm (C) Lens (@250mm)
- Mount: iOptron Skyguider Pro (Moon Mode)
- Control Unit: Raspberry Pi 4 with StellarmateOS (Ekos/Kstars)

### Data Acquisition
- Gain 91 Offset 20 for all images
- 0.005s x 1024 (Crescent Moon)
- 0.01s x 256 (Crescent Moon)
- 2s x 64 (Earthshine)
- 5s x 64 (Earthshine)
- 10s x 64 (Earthshine)

### Process
