2014-10-20, Moon-mozaic, showing the assembly process with the overlaps

One of the, we can perhaps call it this way, standard challenges any amateur astronomer faces is photographing a lunar mosaic. In other words: taking a sequence of large resolution images of different areas of the Moon, to assemble it later, and thus gain a large landscape but with the added extra resolution. Pretty straight forward. And everybody who’s ever attempted such an endeavor is familiar with stuff going south, picture below. (tovább…)

Using the ASI 224MC, on the N250/1200, HEQ5, home observatory, mountpusher. Obviously a mosaic. Here’s the full resolution. I look forward to develop an auto-mapping function for automatically scanning the solar and lunar surface, but maybe there are more important things in life. The picture below is a good pair for the Moon 2019-07-20

This is a not mobile friendly post with a 4MB gif, don’t just open it. The central shadow is getting shorter as the Moon becomes more and more full. The exact datetime of the frame to the right is 2019-07-12-1848Z, I messed up the filenames a bit, sorry.
