I processed them in LR since I don't know RawTherapee well enough to do it justice. I'm not disappointed with the results. I was quite surprised they came out as well as they did.
Great shot.
Let's start a lens thread for the K1 attached Celestron 9 1/4 inch f10 lens (2350mm f10 Celestron fixed aperture).
Here is my moon shot from two days ago. The moon was so big... I almost had to get my reducer out to fit it into the full frame sensor.
I think that this size of aperture, looking straight up, in most atmospheric conditions, gives you a blur spot that is many pixels wide. Unless you are parked at a great site like the Lick Observatory, and the night is good, the use of pixel shift is unnecessary.
I am curious about using this lens for terrestrial photography, and under what conditions the atmosphere will not increase the size of the blur spot over diffraction limited. I am thinking of trying some experiments on this.
