The Moon--First Light with the D3
This is my first light image with the Dwarf D3. The moon was low in haze, and moved between tree branches during the imaging session. Nevertheless, the D3 captured a decent amount of detail for a 35mm imaging lens. This image is heavily cropped as the scope has a very wide field of view. The scope captures MP4 videos, and I took 1000 frames, coverted them to AVIs in PiPP, and stacked and processed 700 of them in Registax 6.
