Still trying to get todays dodgy mosaic to piece together but here's a nice prom.

Nice, look forward to the mosaic. Clear here but stuck at work

[xtreemchaos]

lovely prom image Dave,i too are looking forward to your mosaic. thanks for sharing,charl.

[Davey-T]

Mosaic images don't want to compute ATM, too much wind, trying to manually edit out the dodgy frames.

Here's so far, three frames

Very nice Dave. That bit of sunshine this morning brought us all out imaging I like the mosaic, plenty of detail in there 

[Ewan]

Nice captures Dave, sorry not been in here for a while so probably missed loads of shots you have put up, very sorry mate.

I miss a big chunck of imaging time from my house as I just cant see the sun high enough :-(

Nice image Dave.  If that's stacking using only three frames I really ought to find out how it's done!

Hi Ewan, you've not missed much, just checked and this is my first attempt at a mosaic since last September and as it turns out I rushed it and missed a bit

Dave

Anyone know why a B&W image is about twice the size of the same image in false colour ?

 

[Pete Presland]

Nice prom and some good detail on the mosaic.

[sooot]

Bit out of practice so ended up a haphazard mosaic between cloud, wind and trees, lucky only one bit is missing

Great set of images Dave

There isn't an awful lot of contrast between the prom and the space though, was this taken through haze? or did you have the gamma quite high?

Thanks Alexandra, a difficult session all round really, windy and lots of fast moving clouds, I was trying to anticipate them and pause Firecapture, a few tree branches flapping in the side of the images as I was trying to catch the Sun as it went from one tree to the next.
Had trouble getting them to stack so had to manually edit them with virtual dub.
The prom' could have done with more processing but didn't have time 
Looking forward to the Sun getting a bit higher soon and making my life so much easier
