I captured this image of the Moon under good seeing on May 16. Seeing was good during the capture. This image is from a stack of the best 30% of 1800 RAW frames. Stacking in Autostakkert with light wavelets in Registax. I didn't drizzle, but performed a 2x enlargement of the image using the High Fidelity mode of Topaz Gigapixel AI, which in my opinion does a much better job. Here is rhe full image and a crop of the Lunar Apennine Valley area (the valley is in the center). The image was achievable only because of the excellent quality of the APO optics in the Seestar.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
