Hoegaarden Astronomy & Photography
The Moon fits right into the sensor surface of the ASI183mm Pro, using an Esprit120mm F/7 with flattener. Looks like a full disk does not fit in!
Just to compare I did a smaller region with ROI (Region of Interest) 102’x768 with a much higher framerate (also 2 minutes).
Should be better? or is it
I’m not utterly thrilled by this result it can certainly better, I need to add additional Luminance data to reduce the noise and increase detail. This was actually more an exercise in combining NEF Nikon D750 color data taken by the C11 with Starizona reducer with monochrome ASI183MM data taken with the Esprit 120. This was done with AstroPixelProcessor 1.071. As you can see it worked wonderful.
The NEF color frames were split along the RGB color channels and combined with the Luminance result using the RGB Combine tool. The luminance noise was still very present as the Gain settings (230) were too high during the ASI183 capture.
There are some artefacts like the obvious magenta colors top left, and the top right cut-off angle: I need to look into these.
