For lunar and planetary images i only use Registax for sharpening.

That just MY preference other folk will have their perfered method (i just find it easier with registax)

Excellent Jon. So was this with the sxv then??? what capture software were you using. Stacked planetary and lunar images always come out looking a bit fuzzy. To sharpen them up Registax has the wavelet sliders. The ones at the top adjust fine details and the ones lower down provide a courser adjustiment. Experiment a litte and you will find they sharpen things up beautifully. the key thing is not to get carried away and overdo it.

More please Jon - M42 maybe?

i used the h9 with there soft ware as i cannot get the h9 to work with it. and cannot remember what exposure i used as i played arround with it till i was happy.

Jamie how do i alter the size?

Open the image in photoshop

Go along the top setting till you get to "IMAGE"

Scroll down to "IMAGE SIZE"

Open that up A box will appear in the middle of your screen

The top 2 settings are the ones you want to adjust (make sure they are set to "pixels"

Set the top one and the bottom one normally changes by its self if not just type in the sizes.

Had another wee play hope you don't mind mate.

[jonnyboy]

thanks for that jamie. have you used ps to improve the image? its great.

cheers jb
