Mostly sorta clear here this evening, though there were large swaths of high thins around. Luckily one just departed the Moon with more on the way. I had to act fast before those arrived and the Moon became entangled in the upper reaches of an elm tree.
I plonked the AVX down into my polar alignment divots and saddled the SV102T with the ASI174MC barlowed 2×. I ran off six captures and packed up (along with my full disk cycle capture with the 294).
Back inside, I cranked each 1000-frame SER file through Autostakkert!, stacking the best 10% of frames. As each completed, the stacked image automatically opened up in Registax and I just had to click the Do All button to tighten the frame up with some wavelet action.
Once all those were done, I opened all six up in
GIMP to trim the edges off and re-exported as TIFF images. Once done, over to MS Image Composite editor to build the mosaic. Back to
GIMP, I opened the composite image up and re-exported that as a TIFF.
In
StarTools, I opened that TIFF and reversed the stretch. Then I ran an Autodev, applied a wipe, and then redid the global stretch. In the color module, I accepted the defaults and saved.
A bit of a different perspective on Ye Ol' Luna.
