Starting to look rather brilliant in my opinion. -------------------- Mars Watch All images taken with: Celestron CPC 1100 DBK 21AF04.AS K3ccd/Registax4/PSP8/Maxim DL IP ALPO Member #4287 Post Extras:       James W. sage Reged: 05/14/07 Posts: 240 Loc: Maryland Re: Mars 11-01-09 11:05 UT [Re: Lunatiki]       #3424018 - 11/01/09 03:59 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Once again, extremely nice image Joel!!!!!

I use Maxim DL strictly for deconvolution. I use K3ccd to process the avi, sorting and stacking the frames. The result it gives me, I save as a 16 BIT FIT file. That gives a R, G and B. I use Registax 5 to stack those 3 files, giving me the color result. From there I apply wavelets, adjust contrast, etc. I then use Paint Shop Pro 8 to sharpen some more, filter out noise, tweak color etc. Then, towards the end of the processing, I will use Maxim DL deconvolution with some final touch-up back in Paint Shop Pro after that. That particular example above is about 1000 frames out of 7000, shot at 30fps. Thanks again, and if anyone is real interested, I can do a through description of how I process on my webpage. I do it a bit differently that most.
