Lunar - An Update

I've done so much Lunar stuff over the past few weeks, I can't really remember much of the details, but I'll do my best... All the images, except the one with the plane in were shot with the Celestron 80ED

Then I thought I'd got the Lunar X, but it's not quite in the right place... nearly there..

I also did a mosaic of the disk, using a pair of x2 barlows (for x4), 69 panes, 350 frames per pane at about 20 fps, stacked and wavelets in Registax and tweaked.

I had some and games with my 5x Barlow as well...

Another mosaic, just a single x2 barlow for this one, so less panes 19 I think, 300 of 350 frames at 30 fps, stacked and wavelets in Registax and tweaked

And a few closeups with the x5 Barlow
