Date: 16 January 2008 Equipment: SXV-H9, Vixen f5.3 ED refractor (f.l. 600mm)
Subframes: 20 x 0.01 second subframes in H alpha, stacked in Registax 2.1. Final processing in PSP7.
After I had finished gathering the subs for my NGC 2175 image, I swung the telescope around to the Moon in Gemini, and shot some subs at full resolution. The SXV-H9 perfectly frames the whole lunar disc at a 600mm focal length. Click on the above image to enlarge - bear in mind it has been compressed to around 140K from the 1.3Mb original.
The hydrogen alpha filter is a good anti-glare device and sharpens up the lunar contrast quite nicely.
