Lunar Mosaics : To create these mosaics I used a Celestron CPC 800 (8 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope) with an Imaging Source DMK21AU618 astronomy video camera. Added to this was a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate (barlow) and an Astronomik ProPlanet 742 IR filter. Short (10-20 secs) clips were recorded with the camera then stacked and processed in RegiStax, The RegiStax images were then photomerged using Photoshop to create the mosaics.
