'scope is increasingly looking like an improvised "device".
And the dew heater ring in the flat panel cover got a teeny bit too toasty last night. Need to dial that down a bit, and reprint it in ASA instead of PLA.

You don't just take a single photo of the moon. You take a video then stack the best frames to try to eliminate atmospheric distortion.
I took 3min videos, which was about 20gb, then stack the top 20%. Do that for all 4 LRGB filters (sane people use a colour camera).
Then sharpen and combine

Also realised one of my deep sky targets is far enough away from the moon that it was worth getting some time on it. Never get tired of seeing telescope tracking in timelapse

It's mainly to visually monitor the telescope (the top of the mount is in the bottom right) and checking for clouds. But I hope to get it working as a safety monitor that can link up with the scopes PC to automatically close the cover in case of clouds/rain.
timelapses & star trails are a bonus

The other project I've been working on, apart from the telescope auto flat panel cover, has been an all-sky camera.
Got it correctly working last night. Not many stars to see due to the full moon.

Just with a monochrome camera with a luminance filter, so it's just black & white. And maybe over sharpened. And too bright in areas. And too contrasty? Would have to play around with settings to get it better.

Me: Finally! After weeks of cloud, a clear night to do some deep sky imag....
Full Moon: NOOOOPE!
So I guess I'll trying capturing the moon for the first time instead.

In my chicken fillet roll game, you can choose to add an unreasonable amount of ingredients to your roll and considering I haven't set up the variables for that pricing, I think it's actually quite reasonable 😅

A Flat Panel is essentially a lens cap with a light, so that you can take "flat" calibration frames that are used to remove visual defects on your actual astronomy captures.
Like if you had a smudge on the lens, take a backlit photo of it and remove that from the actual images
