Hi John. Many thanks for the nice comments

Thank you Kostas. Yes it was IR 685. Dont think i will be able to resist trying again under calm air. Perhaps the summer. Yes im pleased with the way the scope is performing

Thank you luke

Another basically adjusting a previous process Which at full size. Has revealed some very fine Hi resolution detail on the floor of Clavius and elsewhere. Some of which i am not sure ive even captured before. Craterlets down to the size of a pin head. At the limit of the scopes performance under UK skies. Yes I pushed the levels. As Clavius was deep in shadow. But its not too offensive Click for full size

Thanks for the interest guys. I may start up again as summer takes hold.

Just bored. Started tweaking a image i got with a 12" Newtonian (Stella Lyra) on 29th April 2023 click for full size

Yeah can see the softness re seeing. But enjoyable images nonetheless, and enjoyable being out there no doubt. As you know. The practice never hurts. As I know what your capable of Good seeing all you guys still imaging. Inspiring me to also try again one day

Hi Mandy. The amount of times I've had clear skies While cooling. As soon as I press record. Bang the image dims. I look up. You guessed it. Nice one for persevering and getting a image

Love your processing on these Roy. Slightly understated. Very natural. with no bloating or artifacts.

Good to see you doing some lunar imaging kostas. Some subtle mineral color coming through.

Hi Mike good to see you posting. Some nice results there. First image to my old eyes is the one. I really must start imaging again. Perhaps this summer. Looking on here you guys inspiring me.

Congrats on the new scope Kostas. Can see seeing hasn't played ball. But it matters not. You got your first light. Better things to come. Jupiter 2025 and 57 degrees

Excellent Geoff similar to what i got years ago. With a 12" Newtonian. Some banding Showing quite clearly

Yes doing similar. (dob) Its a cracking scope. My latest images are taken with it.

Thanks again Geoff. Was nice to be back in the saddle so to speak. Having to set up such a monster Newtonian from scratch. Is never easy. Everything just flowed. No hassles. Its like I had never been away. usually something becomes difficult. Or goes wrong. But no. Everything went well. I was surprised how well

Thanks Guys much appreciated Heres a 5 min capture. video de rotation 23:37 UT

Double post

Still only 3 mins will try 5 de rotated soon

Excellent captures. Worth getting a IR685. As the resolution loss will be less. But you have got a great result no question. Nice scope

Thanks Geoff. Much appreciated. I have some more to go through couple of 5 min runs to de rotate Cheers

Nice capture Pete. For what its worth I mostly prefer south up

Many thanks John. Much appreciated. Now I have broke the ice. Hope to do some more at some point. Cheers

Lovely fine detail Geoff. The Finer points in processing. Reading the comments. But you have certainly got the fine detail. Excellent Geoff. Good to see you getting some nice data. The big C14 really pulls out the detail

Hi Kostas. Good to speak with you again. Your eye is probably better than mine. Been out the game for so long. So your response is encouraging. Cheers my friend

Much appreciated. I did do a 5 min run. That i will winjup. At some point. Thanks for the kind comments
