Further Lunacy

[johnfosteruk]

The moon madness continues with yet another clear night and favourable seeing conditions. 

Captured 160 still frames with the D3200 at 1/640s ISO 100, cropped and aligned in Pipp, stacked the best 50% in AS!2 and finished off with the dark arts of wavelets then a little Photoshop beautification.

We have a mono, an RGB and because I know some chaps like it an annotated edition. I hope you'll agree they're worth a look at full size.

Very nice image, how do you go about putting the names on

Wonderful disks!!! 

[Fozzie]

Two clear nights in a row? Somebody must have been a good boy!

great images sir, i assume it's photoshop for the annotations and boarders etc..

send some clear up north, it's been a while since we've seen some sun or stars... Going to need some vitamin supplements at this rate!

Very nice work John. I got about 20 minutes viewing the Moon sat night through a break in the clouds.

Did you learn the 'Cumulus Reductus' spell and wand work at Hogwarts?

Cheers Jules. As Foz says it's photoshop for the annotations but gimp, paint shop etc will all do it

can I put a word in for IrfanView (free ), it is quite small, not as intimidating/steep learning as Gimp and other progs, and has a simple text editing facility for names, arrows, lines etc.

I think John has been a good boy, I am not too far to his NE and I didnt get sight of the moon at all all evening and night

In fact I am thinking of giving up scopes and going out in the cold and things and just looking at all these superb offerings on SGL -- a virtual window on the universe

Forgot about Irfanview, great little tool. I've used it for years for batch resizing and other batch tasks.

You don't want to do that

Fabulous sharp discs.

Thanks Pete.
