I enjoy doing the AL's Observation Challenges and this one was no exception.  Since it was partnered with NASA's International Observe the Moon Night I went out to image on the official night...Saturday, October 21, 2023.  My original plans were to image at the now empty local mall using a simple, very portable setup consisting of a Skywatcher AZ GTi mount, an 80mm Celestron StarSense Explorer refractor (900mm FL), an ASI 120MM-S monochrome guide scope (1280x960 pixels) and a 2x Barlow.  That combination is quick to set up and gets me down to a field of about 9x6 arcminutes.  Unfortunately, really poor seeing was a problem.  The features were bouncing around so much that I couldn't focus well enough to get down to the 9x6.6 field of view.  I had to resort to twice that by eliminating the Barlow.  Even then look below to see how much the ASICAP label in the bottom right of the images bounced around in the stacked results.   Realize the ASICAP is steady in the captured videos while it is the Moon that is bouncing.  Stacking stabilized the features but blurred the ASICAP label.  The video below demonstrates the poor seeing.

I ended up going to Parkway West Middle School because more people would pass through for some outreach.  I set up on the upper lot between two bright parking lot lights.  While there I talked to five couples as they were out walking about the Moon and the International Moon Night.  Things discussed include why the targets might have been selected and why that particular night might have been chosen (Saturday night, Moon centered in the evening sky, first quarter, all targets picked for the challenge were visible at the time).  I showed them the live view of the Moon on my ChromeBook's screen.   Before the event, I posted information about the challenge to the local astro discussion group with 220+ subscribers where I'm one of the admins.  

As an experiment, I tried to simplify hardware and setup so I used an 80mm StarSense Explorer refractor (900mm FL), ASI 120MM-S guide camera, and an ASUS ChromeBook running ZWO's ASICAP doing 30-second exposures.  The ChromeBook's power would last for over five hours so I didn't have to worry about a big battery that I'd normally use with my Dell laptop.  ASICAP on the Chromebook doesn't have all the features of a Windows app like SharpCap on the Dell, but it did do an OK job of capturing and saving compressed AVIs.  The AVIs were decompressed with PIPP, stacked with AutoStakert with 70% sharpening, and finally labeled with Microsoft's Paint.  I did use Virtual Moon Atlas to locate the various features required by the Observing Challenge.  I think it worked out well although the smaller FOV would probably be better but that would have required better seeing and I wanted to do this on the official night.  

I've ordered an IR Pass filter to try this in daylight, but by then the optimal times for the objects will probably be past.  At least I have something that I think meets the requirements already.

Note on the labeling of images below:  A number of the features can be seen on multiple images.  I thought it best to only label a feature once.
