Last night while waiting to get some better lighting for Bodes, I figured I would spend some time on the moon.

I know many people do this stuff all the time and using many different things.
I used my Full Spectrum modded T6s on CEM25P and completely remote on my MiniPC controller with PHD and APT.
I know the image could be a lot clearer, but viewing conditions where not good yet.  However, taking a few hundred images in the Planetary Module of APT enables use of the DSLR or other Camera for Video or Live View Recording.  The ability to zoom in on an area of interst and just start shooting is really amazing and for me was a bit easier than using Firecapture, Sharpcap, or iCap for those neximage users. 

So this is 80% of 2000 frames, stacked in Autostakkert and lightly processed in PS.

It's not much, but I'm pretty pleased.
