Description

Usually, the days around full moon are hobby holidays, but the libration in latitude favored north polar views in that I tried imaging the full moon. It is quite okay, but the value of lunar phases and shadow castings remain undisputed. All images are raw-8 stacks of 600 frame each, 1.5x drizzled, exposure times under 2ms at gain 200. The final image, a six-panel mosaic, is taken at FL=750mm, exposure 0.5ms at gain 100.
