About this image

Mare Crisium and Proclus crater. This is my first ever attempt at Astro-imaging of any kind. I only bought the camera today and, after watching a few YouTube tutorials on its use, thought i'd give it a go! Seeing was very poor as thin (occasionally thick) clouds were giving pretty much permanent cover of the Moon. I'm also experiencing a problem getting the scope to auto-track and had to keep readjusting to center the image. But all in all, not a bad start. Best 30 of 100 frames stacked in RegiStax and finished in Photoshop. Lots to learn!!
