Goodbye Registax hello AviStack + ICE! 47 pane mosaic

Hmm, isn't your telescope f7.5? Mine's f/5 so really I should have a wider FOV than you...are you using the focal reducer? And is that with your SPC900?

Anyway yes you're right: I use a 2x barlow. If I don't then it takes about nine panes to make a full moon-at a push!

Btw good work if that's your first moon pic! I'm impressed that you can't see the stitching between the images (always hard) but I think you need to drop back the sharpening a bit, the highlights look a bit too strong esp the bright limb.

F6.25, without the reducer, with my SPC900.

Photoshop CS3 did the stitching automatically with no intervention on my part. I increased the sharpening because someone else said it was out of focus on my first process. Maybe it needs to be somewhere between the two.

Thats one of the best Lunar images I have seen for long time Simon, makes me want to buy another scope for Lunar imaging...
