My version of Theophilus

[iceman]

After seeing Dennis and Anthony's version of Theophilus, it reminded me that I'd taken some lunar avi's yesterday morning as well, while having a break from Saturn.

I hadn't processed them as I didn't think they were that great, but i'll post it anyway as a comparison to the 2 guys above.

The seeing was good in patches revealing some finer detail, but I only had 500 frames to begin with, and I only managed to stack 20-odd so the images are very noisy.

Lunar images are a pain when you're tracking isn't accurate.

My images are taken in a higher sun angle than theirs. My image scale is no where near Anthony's but slightly bigger than Dennis'.

The first image is sharper but I couldn't get the darn crater in the middle of the FOV :)

Comments welcome.

Nice Mike - you should turn off the colour processing in registax for lunar images, makes it a bit quicker and gets rid of chroma colour.

Also, keep the raw data for these images, I'll let you have a beta version of ppmcentre with multipoint alignment (when it's ready) and it would be interesting to see how it goes, the multipoint alignment is mostly intended for lunar images.

I like 'em Mike - great images of a lovely crater.

Cheers

Hi Mike, still looks good.:)

Wonder if you tried stacking in some more of the less detailed stuff whether you'd gain more in smoothness than you'd lose in fine detail:confuse3:

Nice portrait Mike..shows up the terraced inner walls well. Pic looks a bit over compressed.
