Lunar mosaic.

This image was taken under steady seeing conditions with stars still visible down to magnitude 4. I was using my ten inch f/4.8 reflector, a Vixen Atlux mount, an Atik 383L mono CCD camera, a Tele-Vue x2 Barlow lens and an Astronomik H-alpha filter. I captured twenty, one thousandth of a second exposures and averaged them together using Registax software.
