CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!
Hi,
Initially want to try image Saturn or Jupiter during yesterday observation session, but I forgot to bring the eyepiece projection adapter , so decided to try out on the Moon using the scope bulit-in T-Adapter.
Anyway, the image was taken using my 120 F8 Sky-Watcher Refractor and Canon 300D at prime focus and stack using Registrax. I took 50 images, but not quite sure how many of them were selected by Registrax... I think only half of them at most...
Also, the false colour was not obvious even I didn't put the WO VR-1 filter (the built-in T-Adapter can't mount any filter )... I think due to the very very short exposure (1/1600s) for each image.
Have a nice day.

a very nice image you show us. The false colour you have on edge comes from your telescope. Why you use a FH-Refractor (with f/8 a very fast one) there are allways such colours on edges of every lightfull object.
But the sharpness is very good in your picture

By the way, the individual image was not sharp at all. I think it may be cause by the following:
1) The false colour of the Refractor (I didn't use a VR filter),
2) The shutter vibration (try to compensate by using a very short exposure),
3) Focusing not good enough and
4) the wind...
Anyway, I thought I over do the wavelet processing... the Moon look a bit too sharp...
Have a nice day.

Ah... the joys of Registax... I like the 'polarizing filter' look...
