Waxing gibbous moon - 2020-11-23 0245 UT

            I hadn't tried using the 16-bit mode on the ZWO ASI120MM to shoot the Moon before, so I figured I'd see what I could get. This is a few hours past when the X and V are prominent, but there is a nice crater rim poking up into sunlight at the south edge of the terminator.

This is a compilation of 55 tiles, which are stacks of the best 81 out of 300 frame SER files. Shot with a Celestron Edge HD 925 at f/10 and a green 58 filter on the ZWO camera. Stacks were processsed in AutoStakkert, then trimmed, then composited in Image Composite Editor. There was a bit of sharpening of the 7500 by 10000 pixel result in PixInsight and some final touches in Photoshop.

Lunation: 7.90 days
