Some efforts from the 15th

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Here are two pics from the 15th of August (1:30h and 2:03h respectively (Central European summer time)), both with my C8 with 2x TeleXtender, and SPC900. Captured with wxAstrocapture at 15 FPS, processed with Registax and Gimp.

Seeing was bad initially, a lot better in the second shot (where I also got better focus).

Ohhh you caught the GRS - Fingers crossed ill be seeing that next time!

You can actually spot tiny oval spot just below the GRS. The dark "streamer" to the left of it is also a curious feature.

Hi Micheal hope you dont mind, i wanted to see if you did catch red junior, and yep you certainly have, now right on top of the GRS, it looks awfully close doesnt it. A important time like this and completely clouded out. Nice catch

The capture is marginal I would say. I assume you increased the blue and green channels to get this colour balance? I am a bit in two minds about that, as it does pick up a bit more detail, but further removed from what I used to get on daylight film:

(Jan 2001)

I will fiddle around with the settings a bit more.

Cheers

No i used chrominance on image analyzer, i couldnt correct the orange colour cast by doing RGB adjustment, as i think the hue is off or something else. in them cases its much harder to correct, but others may be able too.

its easy to know the correct colour balance by eye, with the grs looking red and the clouds looking white, though i didnt get that exactly right here, but i tried

Here is an update on my shots, I think with better colour balance
