Mars.. March 4th - reprocessed...

[arad85]

Hmm..

Just tried Claytons method (virtualdub->ninox->registax->ps) and decided to try leaving the processing to a minimum. The following is RGB without wavelets, but with some deconvolution. I've used both a wavelet enhanced and simply stacked 742nm for Luminance. This is the same dataset that was used to produce:

Whilst it isn't quite so "sharp" in the details, it does have better colour balance and less mush than the original process, I think it's much better:

Now onto my Saturn image..............

wow thats wicked bud im getting a 10" soon fot planets ect though no good with the processing do you know of any good links for processing

toby

[arad85]

Cheers Toby. Try: Planetary Imaging and Image Processing - IceInSpace

[arad85]

Or I could put it at 200%

[astrokat]

thanks bud man thats nuts

That's a great image - way better than anything I managed with the 9.25 :-)

Your processing skills are excellent.

[arad85]

Thanks dweller25. I'm really please with this version

I'm learning processing all the time. Took a good couple of hours to get my head around the reprocess, but it does seem gentle persuasion is better than over processing

That sound's like KM's method

BTW I like the result. It would be nice to keep the detail as well though

[arad85]

Ooops - apologies Clayton

Yes, it would be nice to keep the detail, but that just introduced a ringing on the planets edge. Perhaps I'll look at it again and mask the bits that are ringing at the edge of the planet. Always a learning curve
