[robindurant]

Sorry bits of the Moon are missing a tree got in the way before I could finish the other three.

Anyway it was a test of my new DMK21AUA4, nice camera, thanks Bern.

Some good detail in there. Nice contrasty pic.

Those DMK's look such a good lunar camera.

Awesome clarity there Robin, lovely job. Such a pity you weren't able to complete the image.

However, you have most of it, and it is excellent.

That's really nice - shame about the missing bits. Must agree with SteelRat- those DMK cameras look the bees knees for lunar/planetary work. Gonna go look at prices ... drool.

Thanks Guys for your kind comments. My Mate Trev ( the Moon man) thought that I have made it a bit too sharp, I don't know, maybe its a matter of how one feel about the moon. I would appreciate comments from other Moon experts like Trev and maybe Mr Ed if you are watching.

Hi Rob

Images look very different on computer monitors and on mine the image looks a bit over sharp, if I look at my images on others computers they all look different, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Then you have to add in all the different filters you can use on the front of the camera and try different camera settings, and especially the atmospheric seeing.

When you hit a spot of good seeing you will know straight away all the bubbling just goes and when you come to process the Avi you will find you hardly have to touch the wavelets in registax or use any sharpening techniques it’s just magic and a very special moment you don’t forget.

You don’t get night’s of good seeing you get periods of good seeing and these can come along at any time, (well hopefully) I just keep taking lot’s of Avi’s in the hope that those periods come along while imaging.

The Jet Stream has moved a bit north of us so hopefully we should get a few nice periods during the coming week.

Robin, that's very nice image of the moon. Very balanced processing and the result is amazing.

When I get Hospital appointment out the way I will pop down and watch you chop those flippin tree’s down while I have a nice Coffee from the veranda overlooking your garden :mrgreen:

[robindurant]

Hey Trev, I'm not your Wife. I saw the post of her mixing and laying the concrete for your Pier. lazy B get off your A and do some work yourself. Sorry going on I'm just jealous that you get away with it

[Trevor]

HAhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[barkis]

HAhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There goes the Coffee morning Trevor. :laughing2: Pity I was going to ask to join you.

A ringside seat at a tree felling show with coffee and biscuits, would be nice.

Ron.

[Trevor]

Ron why not pop down we can even make Robin a coffee when he finishes felling those tree’s.

[barkis]

Yeah!, that would be great Trevor, but what's he like with an axe in his hand when he is upset. Or even worse, a chainsaw.

Ron.

[robindurant]

Hey you Guys, you are supposed to be talking about my Moon not my Tree felling capabilities :nono:

[CELESCOPE]
