Moon panorama

An unusual good night, this panel was composed by 3 shoots each of 15K frames. Only the 20% of the frames was selected.

Many famous crater are visible, the are was between Mare cognitum , Mare vaporum and Mare Ibrium. In the middle the beautiful Montes Apenninus with the Erathostenes, Archimedes and Manilus craters. In the bottom Plato crater.

M42 – close up

Started as a stunning night, but after a couple of hours, it began to cloud over. Anyway it was a good surprise to see the result of these shoots because the scope was unguided, the total drift can be honestly improved. No flat, bias and dark was taken

  • Instrument: Enewton2 (unguided)
  • Camera: ZWO ASI290MM 
  • Filter: ZWO Filter Set L-RGB per ASI 1600 MM

  • Location: Ghiro observatory
  • Instrument: sigma 150mm @f3.2
  • Mount: Enewton2
  • Camera: Canon 20D @800iso
  • Processing: DeepSkyStacker, Photoshop, Firecapture, PHD2
  • 40 frame (50s) – 50 dark – 42 flats – 41 bias
  • Integration: 40min

First test of autoguide with enewton and ZWO and sigma 150mm. No filter was used, so high light pollution cover the nebulosity.
