First Lunar with AS!2 March 28th

[Space Cowboy]

After shooting Venus and before Mars rose high enough I took a couple of of quick lunar avis though tracking was not good so aborted any further attempts.

Processed these in as!2 for the first time and very impressed how it handles a drifting avi! Basically as!2 produces a mosaic size image larger than 640x480.

Apologies for the rat chewed appearance as I did not want to crop off any detail (must be a way of trimming edges? ).

2 avis merged together using imerge.

Auto Dob + DFK + 5x Powermate = f26.4

Excellent. I took a load of AVIs last night and the night before and AS2 processes them quite nicely (though fails to read some files for some reason, not sure why). I certainly think I'm getting better results with the moon now than I have been with Mars - though I'll try my just delivered 4x barlow tonight.

Captured some vey nice detail there Stuart. I've run a couple a lunar though AS2 and I think it produces more detail than R6 (and a whole lot quicker).

Expecting some fine Mars images from you now that you have your imagemate ejwwest

Just got my DBK618 .. and the clouds rushed in about the same time

Cheers fellas! Look forward to your 618 results Alan! I suspect Saturn will be your target.

Stuart hopefully I can get Mars again before it gets too small to get a quick comparison with my old DBK, but it should pay dividends on dim and low Saturn .. time will tell
