LightBuckets images the Moon in Ha

We were doing some testing on LightBuckets LB-0001 (the LightBuckets 24" scope in Rodeo, NM) and just decided to see how quickly we could grab a mosaic of the Moon in Ha light. The Moon was already low in the west, less than 25 degrees above the horizon so the atmosphere quality was not great - as you can see from parts of the mosaic. The image took about 10 seconds of imaging time to capture and about 10 minutes of processing time to complete in Photoshop CS3. It is a mosaic of 6 individual images.
