Lunar Mosaic

This is my first attempt of a lunar mosaic imaging with the 90mm refractor. Using the prevoiusly mentioned DSLR avi capture programme. Thursday evening saw an hour or so of clear skies just before the low moon drifted behind the roof of the house. Using the amazing live view zoom mode I am capturing HD avi movies and utilising registax 6 to process and stack. I used the same wavelet setting on each of the 5 images. A few pixels were removed from the sides to remove unwanted artifacts and colour fringing from the stack.

camera was set to Iso 800 and 1/60th sec exposure.

I think it came out alright.
