A moon shot of Plato
      #3423987 - 11/01/09 03:40 PM Attachment (34 downloads)

Hi all,

Seeing wasn't very good 08-11-09, but with 60fps
at F18 this is what I was able to obtain:

Yo Mert, pretty good stuff there.
Did you use a Barlow, which one ?
Resample ??

Hi Freddy,

Since it was taken at F18, I had to "create" a
barlow of 1.5x ( TVx3 plus 0.5x reducer in front ).
No resampling, just vdub -> bmp's -> avistack
-> registax

Regards,

I have to say that's pretty good considering the poor conditions you said you had. Nice close up.

Thanks guys for the nice comments, really
appreciate that
Hope I can find some 610nm filter ( Baader )
like Torsten is using.
That would give ( I think in my seeing conditions )
some improvement likely.

Clear skies,

You know Mert, you took that image at the right moment.
When I take an image of Plato then the left side is kinda bright, there is a mountain top somewhere there that is really bright and messes up my whole processing.
I gues you took that image kinda early morning or very late at night toward New Moon or so...
In your image that left mountain or hill, is dark so the whole picture looks great that way...
I will post my Plato that I took recently..
