Waning crescent moon, 2024-01-08

            I was on campus early to record the Moon occulting the bright star Antares. After watching Antares disappear, I realized how rare it would be for me to be awake at a time to get a detailed image of a waning crescent.

I used the C14 at Cerritos College with a 0.63x focal reducer, ZWO ASI224MC camera, and UV/IR cut filter to record 14 SER files. Those files were run through AutoStakkert, and the resulting images adjusted and sharpened in PixInsight. I used MS Image Composite Editor to build a mosaic from the images, then did a few small tweaks in PixInsight and GIMP. Seeing was fairly poor, so this is substantially reduced in size from the original.
