After taking 6,897 photos of the moon, stacking them into 69 layers, and arranging the layers into a composite, it's time to start blending, sharpening, and post-processing for contrast/brightness. I am like OBSESSED with photographing and assembling lunar composites.

Seeing is good tonight. This is probably the most detailed photo of Jupiter I've personally captured. This is a single frame, and I took 500 pictures, so stacking for clarity and contrast is going to really pop.

Finally got my 8" Meade LX200 up and running.
4 weeks of careful disassembly, cleaning/repairing/replacing parts have finally come together to be usable.
Atmospheric conditions were extremely poor, but at least I got the Telrad aligned, and the SV305 Pro set up for more lunar photos in the future.

I'm taking up Astrophotography because I have a big ol sentimental project I want to make for my gf.
This image here is the culmination of weeks of experimentation and hundreds of pictures that failed to capture detail and avoid chromatic aberration.
