Hi everone,

Here is Clavius, taken Sunday April 9th, the same night as Saturn. It's the first lunar image I've taken using the DMK camera. I'm still getting used to the right settings for the Moon, but I'm happy with the results of this image. MAP processing, 9 alignment points.
Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/25, seeing 4-6/10, frames=500/2250 @ 30fps, taken 9:22pm edt/1:22UT, resized 120%.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Ed, I think you should be quite happy with this one! You seem to have gotten the camera settings just right! Nice smooth processing too! Great to have lots of frames to choose from eh?
