Description

This is one of the first moon images I've captured and created using my recently acquired ZWO ASI183MC (recent as of this year), which has been great for using with SharpCap to capture a video of the moon and then extrapolate the frames for stacking using PIPP and AutoStakkert. Unfortunately, this is a pretty bad composite, as the dark unlit portion of the moon was from a different imaging session than the lit crescent portion, and even though they were taken a couple months apart, the alignment of the craters isn't quite exact. Overall I am still fairly pleased with how this composite turned out, and I beileve I was really able to make the moon glow look very natural.
