First quarter moon, 2024-03-18 0515 UTC

            I used the C14 at Cerritos College with a 0.63x focal reducer and Skyris 618M camera to take 190 500 frame SER files. These were then stacked in AutoStakkert using the best 55% to 64% of frames from each video. Images were trimmed and sharpened in PixInsight, then composited into the final image in Image Composite Editor. There was a cleanup of some artifacts in Photoshop, followed by final processing in GIMP.

Lunation: 8.4 days
Illumination: 60.4% (yes, this technically makes it a waxing gibbous, but to the eye, it looks like a first quarter)
Distance: 388200 km
Altitude: 59°
