Plato - 17th March

[daz]

Having purchased an IS camera from Helen at SGLXI to pick up lunar imaging again, I thought I'd better do some!! I have forgotten heaps on processing lunar images, so learning again from scratch! Feel free to comment robustly

And I'm pretty sure it's Plato... but I could be wrong!!!

So, I think there are about 1,000 frames from 5 videos in this, but this was my first time using Autostakkert, so can't be sure!

• Camera: IS DBK21
• Scope: GSO RC f/8 - no barlow
• Mount: EQ6
• Capture: SharpCap
• Processing: Aligned and stacked each video in Autostakkert, manually aligned in CS5. Levels, curves, High pass filter, unsharp mask, despeckle, FocusMagic

Ta Jules! More practice on the focus needed!!

The focusing is my weak spot, i look at the display think i have nailed it but most times it comes out soft, usually use registax wavelets to sharpen up a little

Nice.y framed image. Just needs sharper focus.
