9.34PM: Tonight sky is almost 80 percent clear. Moon is the brightest objects tonight. It’s so clear that I am able to see the terrain of the Moon. Other than the Moon, Jupiter is another hotspot on the sky. It’s time to do astrophotography. 
12:25AM: I has done setup my telescope. However, the Jupiter has been hidden by the house. Therefore, Moon is the only object for me. This time, I finally know how to use the parafocal ring. It is really easy, I would write an article about it after I have finished my exam.
12:34AM: After I have done the focus of the imager, I run Meade Envisage and start taking the photos of Moon. I am fighting with the mosquitoes most of the time. They are really irritating. I can’t move to slap them as if I move, it will cause vibration to the ground and thus the result would not be great.
12:45PM: I have taken a total of 157 images which are then combined (stacked) using RegiStax3D with Meade LPI. This application is really good in doing its job. I like it!
Isn’t the Moon is an oval shape object? Yes, however, the Moon is currently going to be full.
How do you think of this visual effect? It’s called lens flare.
The article which is about the advantages of CCD is not going to be posted today as I haven’t done the preparation for my exam.
