My Deep sky portfolio was missing this gem! The nearest celestial body to us wasn’t captured on my camera till now. Changed it this full moon. This is my first try at shooting a full moon and making it into a moon composite by layering it up on a starry backdrop.

300 frames went into making this. 100 moon shots, 50 sky shots and rest supporting frames.

iOptron Skyguider Pro tracker, Nikon D750 camera and Orion ED80T-CF telescope

Exif -
Moon - 100 shots stacked - ISO100, 1/250sec, 720mm (1.5x crop), f/6
Sky - 50 shots stacked - ISO2000, 5sec, 720mm (1.5x crop), f/6
50 darks, 50 flats and 50 dark flats

Processing - Moon stacked in AutoStakkert, Sky in Deep Sky Stacker and processed in Photoshop.
