My goodness Barry, why did I even bother with a PGR Flea, or DMK, or whatever? Stunning shot.

Thanks Gary, it was a pretty good night and if you take enough shots one of 'em turns out ok lol.

Hi Barry,

Very impressive results! How did you attach the iPhone to the scope?

cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan I used this, a mutilated Orion Steadypix adapted to a PVC plumbing joiner with plastic screws and some velcro

I'd be interested in how the video was processed to get such a good image?

Troy · #10 11-06-2015, 01:18 PM

The basic work flow was:
Align and stack images with sub-pixel channel (rgb) alignment
Deconvolution
Colour adjustment
High pass filter
Smart sharpen/unsharp mask
contrast adjustment

Cheers
