Moon (2:30am Sun 21 Sept 2008)

[MarkS]

Saturday night was another failure for imaging the Tulip Nebula - the sky was far too murky.  So at 2:30am in the morning I gave up and imaged the only thing I could see clearly.

16 images 1/1000s ISO 800 Canon 350D on Celestron C11 with F6.3 focal reducer.
Multipoint stacked in Registax and deconvolution applied.  Then cropped and scaled by 2/3.

Some parts of the image are pin sharp but other parts are not.  I don't yet have an explanation for this - so this is still a work in progress...
