Celestron C8 on my CGEM mount.
Celestron 236C color CMOS at 640 X 480 shooting 100 FPS
Stacked 20% of 6,000 frames and processed in RegiStax6 with final sizing and polish in Photoshop CC.
Seeing was off and on good and this set was during a pretty decent window in the haze and high thin clouds.
Mr Moon was just coming over the mountains and made for an interesting session.

Nice catch Jim!
Very colorful!
I went from cloudy all day, to a short period of almost clear, to totally socked in, to misting/damp this morning.

Thank you very much Craig.
I played a little bit with the camera setup and the ICAP software light balance.
Getting closer.

Your light balance in the whole sphere is excellent and you picked up one of the moons too.

Thanks for calling my attention to this. I hadn’t opened their articles in a few days and I didn’t get notified that it was being used.
I also sent them a shot from this week that I thought was stronger but wouldn’t have fit this article.
Thanks again.
