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

Hi Barry,

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

cheers,

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

[hickny]

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

[Troy]

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
