Lunar craters
This is a trial for lunar high resolution imaging. The technique is quite complicated and involves obtaining a video of the lunar surface with 5000 images. This data file is always corrupted by the atmosphere, so only the best 10-15% are selected for processing. This data is stacked and processed in several different astro programs to give the final image presented here. I am happy with the initial trial of data collection and processing. The next step for me is to obtain multiple sets of video and to combine them as a panorama. This data collection will take some time as the moon needs to be high in the sky away from the surrounding trees. Clear skies needed as well.
