Hi-Res Gassendi, 07/07/2006

Here's another from last night, of the crater Gassendi. The image is a mosaic made up of 3 avi's, aligned over 8 alignment points.

Each alignment point had between 140-200 frames stacked. I didn't do a great job aligning some of the sections, so some joins are visible. I might go back and fix it one day.

Taken with a 10" dob, 5x powermate with DMK21AF04 through red+IR block filter @ 30fps.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Mike

That is a really, really excellent mosaic – well done! Apart from the joins which you mention, the image looks very smooth and nicely processed. A very pleasing natural look with heaps of detail, all very well resolved.

The first thing that struck me was the image scale – this is a big image. I assume you must have had better than 6/10 seeing as the small stuff looks very nice?

Cheers

Nice image, but tell me what are the 'goat tracks' inside the crater, they aren't outside anywhere?

[Lester]

Okay Mike I am going to stop saying fantastic and Wow, because these are at a new level.

Good start Mike. Being a farmer, I never realised that there were so many sheep up there. Just look at all those sheep tracks!

[Lester]

Obviously they are not goats, because they would climb out of the crater and go all over the place. They must be sheep.

[asimov]

Further study reveals there none other than Jpig tracks Lester....& you call youself a farmer?

[iceman]

Thanks for the comments guys. Dennis, the seeing was probably about 6/10, but fluctuated (usually to the lower end) a fair bit.

Jupiter, the "goat/sheep tracks" are sinous rilles.
