Lunar Mosaic
Here is the first image from our new house - a five and a half day old moon. It was more as a test session for finding a good location in the garden for the (soon to be built) observatory, but it came out rather well so I thought I'd post it up!
Details: Taken at prime focus through my Skywatcher ED80 using a ToUCam Pro. It's a mosaic of 4 overlapping images processed in a combination of Registax and PixInsightLE.
I'm not 100% happy with the contrast of the result, but I've never been quite able to reproduce the tonal quality of the Moon as seen visually - mostly due to the dynamic range of the subject. It would be nice to get close though! Still it is far better than my last attempt of a 5 day moon!
