85 percent illuminated 29 august 2020

Well the covid Luna keeps on giving!! the seeing for this at dusk this evening was superb, best calm atmosphere i have seen in years. there was one small drawback - hazard reduction burning.

regardless Autostakkert gave it 100% for quality - never seen that before. best i have had previously was 81%.

Thanks for looking, with so many Jupiter Saturn's and Mars people don't venture into the Luna that much

[RB]

That is stunning !!
I can sit and view this for ages.
Awesome shot mate.


I think it was Elton...
:question:

[big-blue]

That is superb. I was doing Jupiter in Adelaide last night and AS typically only reached 50% at best... I have never seen 100%, never mind your more modest 80% !

[Tinderboxsky]

Fabulous result. Stunning.

[h0ughy]

Did you have your bifocals on? 😂 thanks RB

[h0ughy]

It was superb on Saturday night, Marc experienced the same conditions and had a bigger gun, looking forward to seeing his results

[h0ughy]

Thanks

[PeterM]

OMG that is seriously good and dangerously sharp!

[multiweb]

+1 That is seriously good. :bowdown:

[h0ughy]

[h0ughy]

[raymo]

Talked to Dennis and updated all my TOPAZ tools. I'm trying to strike the right balance between not too blurry and not sharpened silly. :P

[h0ughy]

Yes that is indeed a conundrum

[Dennis]

Wow - excellent Moon photo David. Nicely processed too.:)

Is this a one pane shot, or did you have to assemble a mosaic?

Cheers

Dennis

One panel Dennis
