Luna 102 Mak/1000D 7.4.17

Not overly happy with this, seems sharp in the lower area around Schiller upper highlands but soft on the opposite region. 102 Maksutov and 1000D 100 frames run through pipp and stacked in registax 6 and saved as .png file.

Just had a play with a new processed version, like we do, this is a stack of just four frames from same batch, run through pipp and registax a bit aggressive with wavelets and dropped the brightness a bit, looks like i have salvaged a half decent image, hoping to try again tonight maybe with ED120

Nice image Jules. Good to see you getting some regular imaging in now, and with a settled set of kit.

Cheers Stu, i missed out last night because i had fired up my imaging laptop, but did not use it, i keep forgetting i have an spc 900 that i have not used in ages, but my polar align was of a bit so would have been a bad move, going of subject a bit but i am liking the 120ED more and more, this was the same with my Phantom quad, at first i did not care much for it, but now i would not be with out it

As always Jules, great work! I too am into R/C Flying in just about every guise!

cool, i just got back from maiden flight with my new build Tek sumo 900 wing, needs a little mod to get it right

Not flown much this year, just about ready to maiden an 88" MX2 with a 70cc Twin petrol engine!

Back on topic, I like the contrast on the second image!

Very nice Jules. Like the second one a lot.

The second one is better for sure.

Yes, one has to be cognizant on aggressive wavelet use, but not using them much at all is worse I find. 

Finding that balance of noise vs sharpening is the perpetual battle we face.

Worse, for me that is, what looks good on my processing laptop and its small monitor is NOT what looks best on my big monitor. So I have many iterations of gradual sharpening and noise reduction. 

Very nice disk with the lil mak. Thanks for sharing!
