Lunar Image 20/12/20
Here's my Lunar Image from 20/12/20. I would have put it up earlier but I struggled a bit stacking it with a full up hard drive!
2 panels of 500 frame videos captured with Sharpcap. Frames saved as 400 x .tif files in PIPP and 2 x best 20% stacked with AS!2. Stitched with MS ICE. Tried to colour balance inGIMP but gave up, turned it into greyscales and sharpened.

Re: Lunar Image 20/12/20
Hi Graeme. I got the 6" refractor scope out on 12/21 evening. I enjoyed the 1st quarter phase of the moon before moving the scope over to catch the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction before they went into the tree tops at my location. You have a great lunar image here, with nice contrast and surface details along the terminator. Thanks for sharing this fine work with us on here Graeme, and keep looking up.
