2020-04-01 mosaic with 120ED

[WestCoastCannuck]

Well a qualified success last night.  Seeing not as good as other night, but a clear cloudless session. 

I may have over sharpened....  hard to judge after trying so many different ways of processing - eyes are tired.  lol

Full file uploaded.  120ED + 1.5 Barlow and ZWO ASI183MM.  Three panel mosaic.

Thanks for looking, and especially any feedback!   I may very well have done just as well with much less work using the 120 at prime for a single panel stack given seeing.  (?)  Will do both next time.

 

Best regards

 

Mike

 

 

 

 

 

Below is full unprocessed mosaic before sharpening/processing for reference.   Its interesting to zoom in on the same spot with the files side by side.

Splendid image! well worth a look at full res. and for sure not oversharpened. Actually i think it is spot on! Excellent job.

Thanks so much Wouter!   I really appreciate you chiming in.

That really is exceptional! You've absolutely nailed everything: capture and processing. 

Zooming right in I've picked out the smallest crater I can see and it's about 0.75" across so you're resolving below the dawes limit of your scope (0.93"). You can safely say you've got the very best out of your kit 👍

Thanks much Craig!  Hoping for another go tonight!  Looks good....  except possibly windy.   I must learn to do that (calculate resolution).

That is one epic moonshot!

That's lovely. It doesn't look sharpened at all to me.  I suppose that means that you've got it just right.

Oh it's sharpened!  lol...  But I thought it a good point, so I added the "before".   Thanks much Don!
