Hi

I’ve just completed another x3 avi’s from the magical night of good seeing on 18th Feb. Here is a 3 panel mosaic of Moretus, Curtius and Clavius with Amundsen on the lunar horizon

Equipment:
Celestron C9.25, Televue x2.5 Powermate
Philips ToUcam 840

Details:
18th / 19th February 2006
04:19 to 04:26 am AEST (GMT+10)

Capture:
K3CCDTools, 10fps, 1/25 sec. (x3 AVI’s)

Processing:
Registax, Wavelets 1:20, 2:10.
Mosaic created in Corel PhotoPaint 12, saved at 40% jpg compression.

Gee, these C9.25 OTA’s are good; not to mention the Brisvegas seeing

Cheers

Dennis

That's amazing Dennis, love your work!

That is simply stunning Dennis

Beautiful.

I can almost feel the moon rotating underneath me in the space capsule

Honestly, the moon shots you've been posting are an inspiration.

Well done, mate.

I'm with Rocket Boy! Geez Dennis you are truly lifting your game lately - how are you ever going to go back to ordinary seeing.

You're posting some of the best work to come out of this fine country of ours.

Incredible detail, clean, crisp and very nicely processed.

Apollo photos!!!

Actually I don't think the Apollo video was that clear. Some fine shooting there Dennis.

Hey Dennis, I called the kid's over to see this, not something I usually do as they think astronomy is yawnsville. Well they were gob-smacked and thought you must have a way bigger telescope than Dad or be located on a mountain top or somethin... when they discovered you're using the same scope, powermate, same location etc as me... they now seem even less impressed with my efforts than usual. Damn you Dennis

DOn't know if your familiar with that movie "the castle", but this one should be going "straight to the pool room"!

regards,

Amazing.... Almost too good to be true, anyone got a conspiracy theory.

Hi Dennis, ran out of superlatives three posts ago.

Now I'm simply speechless!

Keep up the good work.

(pick jaw up of floor) Forget the seeing! Where the hell are you getting clear skies from Dennis. I'm up til at least midnight most nights and it has been the pits here for weeks.

"Fantastic shot" gets used alot around here, but you have just set the bar for the use of that word. I don't expect to see it used very often round here now. Genuinely stunning Dennis.
