55% waxing Moon with a Bridge camera and AstroCrop

A Lumix DMC-FZ72 60x optical zoom (equivalent to F=1200mm in 35mm) bridge camera was placed on a static tripod and was set to ISO 400, f/5.9 at 1/640s. 141 images of the 55% waxing Moon were captured. The best 113 images were precisely cropped in Nicola's AstroCrop and were stacked and wavelet processed in Registax 6 and the resulting image post processed in the Gimp 2.10 and Affinity Photo.
