Lunar mosaic from Mersing

Post by rcj »

Hi,
This is an image of the waning moon during the last mersing trip taken under mediocre conditions. There were presence of haze and lots of moisture in the air. Seeing was less than average. Nevertheless, the assembled 15-framed mosaic was taken with the Pentax 3-inch refractor and a Nikon CP4500 (thanks Mike!), eyepiece projection styled.
All digital assembly was done in Photoshop.
Did not think I nailed the focus this time round though!

Anyway here goes:
