Title: Full Moon 29 Jan 2010
Post by: MarkS on Feb 02, 2010, 06:48:05

Here's the full moon from around midnight on 29 Jan 2010 - the biggest full moon of 2010.

Canon EOS 350D on Celestron C11 with F6.3 reducer.

This is a mosaic of 9 pieces (because the corrected image circle of the Celestron C11 is not large enough).
Each piece is created from 30 exposures of 1/1000sec at ISO 200 which are stacked in AviStack and then scaled to 2/3 before being deconvolved.  The mosaic of 9 pieces was then assembled in Photoshop.

The full 2/3 scaled version is here (2200x2200 pixels):
