This is a 5 panel "Mineral Moon" mosaic. Acquired using an Askar 71F with a 2.5x Tele Vue Powermate, a ZWO ASI585MC planetary camera with a Baader UV/IR cut filter, on a Sky-Watcher AZ GTi mount.
I used SharpCap to capture five 2000 frame .ser files (Gain 69, exposure 11.947ms at 48.35fps), which I then individually stacked (1.5x drizzle) and cropped in AstroSurface, stitched the mosaic in ICE, and then finished the postprocessing back in AstroSurface. The above image is a reduction to 30% of the original image; using Photoshop 7.
