Can anyone tell me what happened to the lower righthand section of the image? The frame was full during stacking. Also I have no idea what the blue mark is in the upper left of the image? -------------------- Thomas 12" SuperCharged LX-200 GPS!!!

To answer your question, were you tracking the moon or just letting it drift through the FOV. Even a little movement for me with my dob. makes that happen to the final pic because if the pics are being stacked and some craters are in one pic and not in another, it misaligns the part on the edges. If some parts of the moon are cut out in some frames, the stacking program may delete them from the final pic I guess? Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, don't wanna be giving out false info here but this is what happens to me. -------------------- Equipment: Z10, Meade 8" LX90GPS, Galileo 120mm A bunch of EP's, Filters, and Barlows 10*50 Binocs Sony Cybershot,Philips SPC900NC,DSI Pro, DMK21AU04/ Astronomik LRGB Messier Count: 48 Post Extras:       GUNER Pooh-Bah Reged: 07/19/04 Posts: 1305 Loc: Bedminster,NJ USA Re: Another Moon 4/22 Close-Up but a little blurry [Re: TheNebulai]       #1566708 - 04/25/07 05:36 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   TheNebulai: Thanks. Your answer make sence to me. This image was actually taken with the scope not even polar alined. I was going to do that but got called away when I got back to the scope I didn't have time to aline it before I lost the moon behind our condo. -------------------- Thomas 12" SuperCharged LX-200 GPS!!!

The way it's blurry around your image looks just like the left part of my image where it's blurry. I guess that caused the clip on the bottom right of your image too. Only the stuff in the middle stacked well because it was in all of the frames, and the outside parts that are not in all the frames messed with the lining. Still an amazing image! -------------------- Equipment: Z10, Meade 8" LX90GPS, Galileo 120mm A bunch of EP's, Filters, and Barlows 10*50 Binocs Sony Cybershot,Philips SPC900NC,DSI Pro, DMK21AU04/ Astronomik LRGB Messier Count: 48 Post Extras:       Dr Nick scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 01/27/06 Posts: 798 Loc: Glen Innes, NSW, Australia Re: Another Moon 4/22 Close-Up but a little blurry [Re: TheNebulai]       #1567687 - 04/26/07 03:39 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Looks good to me! -------------------- Clear Skies, Nick http://www.NicksAstronomy.com Sky Watcher 8" f/5 Newtonian(which I got when I was 10yrs old and 5yrs later I'm still adding to) w/JMI motofocus/standard, axis guider.
