Moon - partial mosaic
Sunday, November 08th 2009 - 00:00 (UTC) - focal ratio f/15
Last night I wanted to create a full mosaic of the moon. But after 10 minutes of imaging, there was a very thick fog comming up. I quickly managed to capture another 5 minutes worth of material around the Plato area.
I ended up with this partial mosaic with too much noise in some parts of the image because I wasn't able to capture enough frames.
But still, I don't image the moon very often so it's a good addition to this website.
The image was shot in infrared (using a baader infrared pass filter) at about F/15 (2x orion shorty barlow + extender)
