Description

I haven't spent a lot of time doing any level of lunar imaging, but after a conversation with @Philippe Fossier on imaging in IR-pass filters, I thought it'd be fun to try. The advantage being that IR wavelengths are less affected by the turbulent air. The tradeoff I noticed was the longer exposure required, which essentially cut my fps from ~70 to ~40. This wasn't the best conditions on May 15th, but worth attempting. Hope you enjoy
