The Moon 11-4-11, and a big "Oops!"

[Takahashi]

Managed to snag about 23GBs of DMK data tonight, just out the front of my flats, as it looked quite still outside for a change. The first is a mosaic of 9 tiles. Both have had minimal post-processing, just slight sharpening & contrast enhancement :

Camera : DMK21 with Celestron #25 filter

Number of videos/tiles : 9

Resolution per tile: 640 x 480

Frame count per video : 3000

Exposure time per frame : approx 1/140th sec

Gain : minimum

Scope : WO FLT110

...and the second, a higher magnification 24 tile job using the 2x Powermate, and a lesson in how to do it right. Which I didn't. Hence the missing data... :

Camera : DMK21 with Celestron #25 filter

Number of videos/tiles : 24

Resolution per tile : 640 x 480

Frame count per video : 2000

Exposure time per frame : approx 1/30th sec

Gain : minimum

Scope : WO FLT110 + 2x Powermate

Lesson learned... next time be more attentive.

Otherwise, I'm quite pleased how these turned out, considering I was 10 feet away from my living room. I've travelled much further and had worse seeing, so it was well worth the spur-of-the-moment session.

Awgh, !! gut wrenching stuff when that happens , more so when the data is sooo good !!

Love the 1st but the crispness of the image in the 2nd is superb. Well actioned (apart from the missing bit Been there !)

The details are excellent, nicely done, shame about the missing bits, but we've all done it

Heehee.. thanks fellas. It was soooo painful to see the completed image pop into view in MS ICE, and afterwards I had a wee check in the folder with the AVIs to make sure I hadn't somehow forgot to include a few. No such luck. What a diddy.

Maybe next time.
