VISfilter
Any monthbest at 10pm
Aim it yourself: centre it in the wide view, switch to tele, press autofocus. The Dwarf sets itself. Half a Moon shows the craters best.
From a real night: Very short exposures, gain 0, the VIS filter (DWARFLAB's manual). Shoot along the line between light and dark.

Beginner: Auto picks well, but check the filter by eye and set the number of shots to finish before cloud or the Moon. See Improver and Expert for why.
