June 29, 2015: 19-pane mosaic and a big prom shot

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Managed a mosaic consisting of just 19 panes. Used 100 frames out of 1000 for each pane. As usual I stacked in AS!2, and used LR deconvolution and (non-adaptive) unsharp masking in ImPPG. Due to restrictions in speed of the disk, I use 8 bits per pixel as a rule. The magnificent filaprom in the north-east deserved more special treatment. I captured 2000 frames in 16 bits per pixel, stacked 300 with AS!2, post-processed with LRgausdeconv (home brew) using LR deconvolution and adaptive unsharp masking.

First the mosaic (do click on them to get the full res):

The prom:

Note the little detached blotch. When compared to the north-east part of the full mosaic (which is at the same resolution), it can be seen that noise control is a lot better in the adaptive unsharp masking case

Thansk everyone. The summer seems to have been unleashed here. I have more data brewing at home, and tomorrow looks like a good day as well. If the forecast is to be believed (NOT) I might get an entire week with one disk per day. Excited, me?
