Waxing crescent moon - 2022-03-07

            I was trying out some new equipment tonight and figured the Moon would make a good target. This is a mosaic built from 11 tiles taken through an Optolong blue filter with a ZWO ASI120MM with a Celestron Edge HD 925. Seeing was maybe 2 or 3 out of 5 -- not a great night for detail work. SER files were 1000 frames each, and each tile used between 225 and 350 of the best frames. FireCapture was used for acquisition and AutoStakkert for stacking. Tiles were processed in PixInsight first, then composited in Photoshop. A few small touch ups in each of those programs gave this final result.

Lunation: 5.5 days
Illumination: 29%
Distance: 396000 km
The Moon's altitude dropped from 36° to 24° throughout the shoot.
