I was pretty worn out after a long and draining week. It hasn't been an especially good one.
After supper, I went out into the yard to grab my AVX out of the shed. Got this new privacy fence installed and it has yet to see "first light". It really does a nice job of blocking surrounding porch lights. I don't have to worry about getting eaten by possums and skunks (or rogue balloons, long story) now either.
I had a mind to do a lunar capture with my venerable 30-year-old Celestron C80 refractor. I stuck my hillbilly extension tube into the focuser, added my 2× Synta barlow, my ASI174MC cam into that, and saddled the whole mess onto the mount, and acquired my target.
I figured that it may be best to run off a series of captures in mono first and then swap over to color and compare both after processing. I ran off a total of 8 1000-frame SER files to build two 4-panel mosaics with.
So, first up, my 4-panel mono mosaic with the C80...
