Waxing Gibbous Moon with H-alpha and red filters
Trying my ZWO ASI2600MM Pro on a waxing gibbous moon at 94% illumination using a H-alpha filter and a red filter at a 1960 mm focal length with my C11" EdgeHD.

Re: Waxing Gibbous Moon with H-alpha and red filters
Two fine Lunar images Bruce. The Ha has excellent contrast.
You might want to rotate them 180°.

Thanks Graeme for the compliment and suggestion. I also like the H-alpha better. When I cropped it, the craters popped out.

Re: Waxing Gibbous Moon with H-alpha and red filters
Hello Bruce. I agree with the above posters. A nice pair of lunar images from you. Nice contrast in both captures, but I like the Ha version the best. Rotating the captures would help, but I am used to identifying lunar surface features with top to bottom reversed and left to right reversed, depending on the telescope optics used to make the astro image. And, sometimes the inserted camera angle adds to the work too. Overall Bruce, I think that you did a great job with this work, and keep at it. :Clap:

Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions. I rotated them as suggested (boy, that was dumb on my part) and cropped a couple from the H-alpha original.

Re: Waxing Gibbous Moon with H-alpha and red filters
Hello Bruce,
great captures, and a very helpful comparison!
TheH-Alpha filter helps sometimes on Moon when I am observing visually.
Best,
JG
