moonage 4 U

[ving]

heres a moon shot i took a little while back... finally processed it :)

its a total of 10 frames stacked and just to out do mike (even though my image is no where as good) it has been given a 4 point alignment :P

(and just for fun a re processed jupiter. i think i need to process on my desktop rather than my lappy as the lappy gives weird colours depending on the angle of viewing.)

[ving]

oh, done with lpi...

OMGosh David that moon shot is stunning :eyepop: :eyepop: :eyepop:
It's got beautiful colour rendition and clarity in detail.
Your joup is a good start as well.

Excellent, I really enjoyed that.
Thanks.

:)

thanks andrew, i need a bigger barlow tho to get more image scale on jupiter. these small images do nothing for me :rolleyes:
maybe i should make an extention tube? :confuse3:

theres a little bit of stretch avaliable in that moon shot tho... just using paint (cause i dont have anything else here at work...

[RB]

It's my new background David.

:thumbsup:

What scope did you use?
Extension tube will help on Jup.

[ving]

thats quite a compliment andrew, thanks :ashamed:

I used my 8" f6 newt (the only scope i have now) eq mounted.

[RB]

In all sincerity David, it really grabbed me.

:love: it.

[joe_smith]

BTW what eq mount have you got ?? I thought you used a dob ??

[ving]

i have a 8" dob as you know, but i also have a meade starfinder eq mount which i use when taking pics :)

[joe_smith]

That mount looks pretty good Ving, so you got the best of both worlds ;)

[ving]

yeah, as you can see i kept the alt berings in place so i can use both mounts :D
