This
image of the Moon proved very difficult to complete. The image is
a composite of about 40 separate 0.4 seconds exposures made with my 8"
LX200 and MX-5C CCD. I needed so many exposures, because about 1/2
way through the sequence I got lost and had to start over. I also
left the telescope tracking at the sidereal rate and not lunar rate, so
each exposure drifted in right ascension slightly. With all
of these imaging mistakes, I'm surprised that the image came out as well
as it did.
