My first Moon mosaic - and 42 pieces

[steppenwolf]

Serious attempt is right - this is a cracker of an image!

[narrowbandpaul]

wow....thats a great image.

42 frames must have taken ages to align and blend

[RichieJarvis]

Wow! Thats amazing Adam. I am especially impressed at how well the images have blended - I cannot see the join you mentioned at all - maybe its just my eyes.

I should think it will blow up very well - great job

Cheers,

Richie

That's a great image and an awful lot of work. Well done. Have you tried the photomerge function in CS2? Personally I find it easier and more sucessful at producing mosaics than IMerge. Has anyone else done a comparison of the two routines?

[tooth_dr]

Here is a reprocessed version, and also it's new location, where it is now part of the exhibition in the Ulster Museum in Belfast!

[Clayton]

Lovely. Well done mosaic and nice to have it recognized by the museum as well!

[jgs001]

Well done Adam, great to see it exhibited too.

Nice Mosaic, wel done. Its a lot of work i know, processing time alone is enormouse. you certainly done the right thing aligning the camera so your keypad moved, as our brains think. otherwise you would have been in all sorts of trouble. 5 min avis must have slowed you down somewhat, when i tried doing large mosaics ( ive yet to succed in a full one ) i tend to shoot 2000 frames a avi, but more frames wouldnt hurt, as it gives you more choice over quality, but at the expense of capture time.

Now do that 3x closer half moon under good seeing, would love to see that, if you can get sharp panes all the way, which isnt easy, as seeing often goes down hill.

By doing this mosaic, your actually training yourself, so the chance of success of a higher mag version increases. My advice, (and really it doesnt look like you need it ) is to not let too much time elapse after doing this, and attempting the 3x version, as we tend to get sloppy after months of not working in the feild. I know this because it happens to me. both on lunar and planets. But youve masterd it now. dont stop. your getting rather good at this. So come on give us that hi res version I DARE YOU lol Nice work

[MaCross]

Wow, that looks really impressive! Great work!

[tooth_dr]

Thanks guys, I'm itching to get out again now, to try the same thing with my 10", but I've send bits of the mount away to get a dovetail made to fit it, so nothing happening for a few more days yet
