No pain no gain?

Came home last night after a shortened observing session at YFOS (club observingsite) and after a few hours sleep, got up to imageed the moon again.

While taking out my equipment my back went into spasm and I thought I was going to have to call it a night.

Went out anyway and after fighting off some clouds I got a few AVI sessions in.

Here is Clavius and Blancanus with my usual arsenal of tools except scale is increased by shooting at f20 and stacking 250/600 frames.

I will experiment when there is more time and see if using fewer frames sharpens thing up any. Gotta get busy around the house before I get in trouble.

Clear skies,
Chase

Chase, awesome detail! Watch that back, time to break out the ice. Thanks for the post

Just wanted to post a second image of the same session/same crater but a different 60 second AVI file. I didn't initially choose this file because the clouds were moving through during exposure and the brightness level meter was all over the place.

I used 13 alignment points in this image instaed of 7 and stacked 200 frames per alignment point instead of 250.

I think I like the second image better?
