Description

I was super excited to create my first lunar mosaic, considering we were approaching full moon, and that I decided to give the Nexstar 5SE a shot for lunar imaging. I searched for a way to program the mosaic using software, but I couldn't find anything, so I went ahead with a manual process, trying to get all the parts I needed for the mosaic, turns out I missed a few spots. 

For processing I used AutoStakkert and RegiStax, I think I overdid the Wavelets quite a bit, on my next try I will try to be more careful with the wavelets settings. For the actual mosaic I used Microsoft ICE, which is like magic.

For my personal journey I feel it's important to document not only the good data, but also when things go wrong.
