Great pic.

I have managed to get out as well. The seeing is appalling at present and there is a level of thin high cloud & the occasional thicker cloud.

Glad you got out.

Cheers

Nice one mate nice to see you back behind the camera

Hope you don't mind mate but i sharpened this one up as

you managed to get more detail than was showing in the first image.

[spudicus]

Thanks Jamoe, as you can see I still have no idea how to use paintshop!

The seeing is very hit and miss here in Berks. Has been for weeks, but I'm just pleased I managed to image the Moon - and also grab a quick peek at Saturn

[Jamie]

Hey Spud i didn't use paintshop for this.

I clicked on your image and saved image as a BMP

then i just opened it up in registax 3 and adjusted the second wavelet

up to about 7 or 8 and saved that image as a JPEG then uploaded it to

ISEE STARS then here.

Job done (but you CAN see that you had captured more info initially)

Well Done Spud!

An image thats not two weeks old :shock: and a cracker at that.

James :)

Nice image under demanding situations, One tip on moon pics spud take all the colour out of the image ( adjust the saturation to 0 ) always works for me.

Real good moon shot Spud we keep getting the moon shining through the clouds here too but Am not confident enough to set up a scope on the strength of it too many variables or do you call them clouds :insects1:

What's a wavelet mate?

[lunator]

Spud

I used to think it was a very small wave

If you use Registax on the final page you have 6 scoll bars these control the wavelets. I think the wavelets are best described as minm computer programs which alter the brightness & detail of the image pixels. The 6 wavelets work in slightly different ways so bring out slightly different bits of information.

By moving the scoll bars up & down you can bring out information that is in the image but is being 'swamped' by the other information.

I hope this gives some idea.

Here ya go Spud, As you can see in registax the slider on the left are the Wavelets these work like an unsharp mask only better IMHO working with each 6 layers of the Image.

Alter the Red and Purple ones i have marked Spud, depending on how many stacked frames try not too over process it id guess set them to 3.4 each with your photo.

See how you get one matey.

Nice image Spud ... (the trusty broom-handle technique?)

You mean there's another technique???

Nice one Spud, pin sharp and perfectly exposed. Another afocal shot? don't know how you do it!
