Lunar imaging Help please guys

[Dave Moulton]

Ok guys I could do with some top Registax tips for processing Lunar pics.

This is one of my first attempts with my Luminera 075m. Which cost an arm and both legs , so hopefully I should be able to improve on this mediocre effort with the right guidance.

This was taken through a WO 110 Megrez I have another option a Meade 10” SCT which I will have a bash with at some stage.

I could also do with some tips on image acquisition as I am struggling to get past 27frames per second. My laptop is a bit slow 1.6mhz Centrino with 2 Gigs of ram but the hard drive in not the fastest which could be a bottleneck. I was wondering if an external USB Drive would speed things up.

Anyway any pearls of wisdom on this would be appreciated

Cheers,

Dave

Dave, that's not a bad image at all. All I can say is that preparation is the key, the more time you spend on focusing the better. I try and get about 3000 frames (usually in 2 X 1500 frame avi files) and select the best 300 or so.

Get Martin Mobberley's Book on lunar and planetary webcam imaging (it's brilliant) and look at Tony Gondola's web articles on processing.
