Hi all.

Last night 11/23 I was imaging the moon to test my new barlow lens, Televue 2x. It isn't the powermate barlow lens, but it is a very high quality barlow, which gives a very contrasted image.

I was imaging some craters, here you have Theophilus and Cyrillus, and Boussingault. I have to process the other videos, Aristoteles, Posidonius, etc.

To take the images I used my 150 Orion maksutov cassegrain, with Televue 2x barlow lens. Orion R filter with Orion filterwheel, and DMK21AU04.

I'll post the other images when I process them.

Clear skies.

Definite potential there!

The image of Boussingault looks to me to have something like a wavelet artifact across it:shrug:.

I suspect you had mediocre seeing & had to compensate by over processing a tad, plus tube currents? They look slightly overdone (waveletts) but still not bad shots:thumbsup:

Did you multi align in Registax for these?

Hello.

sheeny, the Boussingault image has a focus problem. When I image the lunar limb, it's very dificult for me to focus correctly the image. I can see diferences between focus in the middle of the moon that over limb. Theophilus image is better focused.

asimov, the seeing was quite acceptable. I processed the video with multipoint in Registax, but I think that the over processing effect is because of the deconvolution that I used in Maxim DL. Maybe using a lower pixelradius (I used 0.5) the image could improve.

They're nice Luismi, but something just isn't quite right - it feels like i'm seeing double?

What are the raw frames like?
