The Moon
Here's some pictures of the Moon, taken with a 14" Meade SCT and a ASI174 Mini camera.
For the Full Moon, there are 30 individual pictures stitched together in Affinity Photo. Each picture was aligned and stacked with Autostakkert!, using the best 50 pictures from a 60 second video. The Moon was at about 29 degrees altitude, around 11pm. I missed a spot in the lower right corner because I didn't have enough overlap between frames.
The first quarter Moon was taken about 3 weeks later and the Moon was about 43 degrees above the horizon and not looking over my house. The sun angle is different so the detail on some of the features is different as well.
