Full Moon First Light (Mobile Phone)

This was my first astrophoto, taken on December 29th 2012 with a mobile phone held to the eye piece.

Waxin Gibbous Curve

First moon image with the Flea3. Originally intended for a mosaic that failed due to brightness variations, insufficient overlap and missing a piece of the moon due to field rotation. Deleted original frames, in the process lost exposure info encoded in file names.
Taken on: 2013-01-22, 21:30 UTC+1
Exposures: Likely 500 x 5 ms at low gain
Stacked and post-processed in Registax

Copernicus

Copernicus crater (diameter 93 km). Originally intended for a mosaic that failed due to brightness variations, insufficient overlap and missing a piece of the moon due to field rotation. Deleted original frames, in the process lost exposure info encoded in file names.

Waxing Crescent

An attempt to squeeze more of the Moon on the chip using a 0.5 x focal reducer.

Full Moon First Light (Galileoscope)

First image taken with Galileoscope. A 0.5 x focal reducer was needed to make the full moon fit on the chip.

Exposures: 250 x 0.2 ms at f/5 with 24 db gain
Custom stacking based on HALCON

Waxing Crescent (Galileoscope)

An exposure at dusk of the waxing crescent moon. By turning the camera it was just possible to fit it on the chip without focal reducer.
Taken on: 2013-06-14, 20:49 UTC+2
Exposures: 100 x 2 ms with 24 db gain

Shadows of Montes Caucasus

Detail view of Montes Caucasus on waxing crescent moon, casting long shadows over Mare Imbrium. The largest crater is Aristoteles with a diameter of 87km. The image was taken shortly after sunset. Taken on: 2013-08-13, 21:45 UTC+2
Exposures: 300 x 7 ms with 24 db gain

Hipparchus

Another terminator shot, including the two large craters Hipparchus (diameter 150km) and Albategnius (136km). Taken on: 2013-09-02, 21:47 UTC+2
Exposures: 600 x 7 ms with 24 db gain

Daylight Moon (Galileoscope)

Quick morning shot of waning gibbous moon in Galileoscope. Despite the small scope the Moon did not fit comfortably on the chip so this is a mosaic of two images. Taken on: 2013-10-23, 09:10 UTC+2
Exposures: 2 x 150 x 500 us with 20 db gain
Custom stacking based on HALCON
Mosaic composed with Hugin
