Efforts from Mar 30th, 2023 69% Waxing. C11 and 140 refractor. **New colour effort

[WestCoastCannuck]

Hey all.  Hopefully heading into my imaging season and out of the clouds soon.  I squeezed in a fun session this past Thursday after sunset in jittery seeing.   (Lucky imaging rules!)

First I did a quick 3 piece mosaic with my 140 refractor and 678MC.   Oversampled.  Don't ask me where the colour went...  I have trouble with it.    I will learn one day - I don't have photoshop or anything that can do layers...  considering Paintshop Pro.

 

 

New colour effort from same data.   At least now you can SEE colour!  haha  (2023-04-13)

 

Next up are my efforts with my C11.   I am happier with these given the wonky seeing!   I combined a bunch of them in 3 mosaics..... I rather like them.   Especially this first one for the views near the terminator through the Mares south of Copernicus.     All are done with C11,  290MM,  685nm filter,  and are comprised of 600 frames per panel from 10K vids.

 

Clavius and Southern Limb

 

Copernicus,   Eratosthenes and the Apennine Mountains

 

 

 

 

 

I wish the clearest skies to all!!

Good to see you posting. Getting some nice results in with the C11. Its one of those scopes that is almost perfect in the ability to setup. Move around. Yet resolution is starting to get serious. 

A ideal combination. Particularly like your Clavius Moretus region. Some excellent fine detail coming through.

Thanks Neil!  I finally got around to redoing the colour shot.   Not nearly as good as I have seen from many others,  but better than the first one!  haha

 

Clear skies!
