Lunar terminator mosaic 7-1-06

[rat156]

Hi All,

Here's a mosaic of the lunar terminator region taken on 7th Jan.

It's a mosaic of 9 images, stitched together in Autostitch.

Each individual image is a 50 frame composite taken with an LPI at prime focus of the 8" LX200GPS. A little post processing with photoshop (unsharp masking, crop and image rotation).

Cheers
Stuart

thats a great image Stuart! I like the moon in phases like that, you get to see good detail and wonder about what it would be like to explore it

That's a fantastic image Stuart.
10 out of 10 'ol chap.
You've stiched it together very well. Detail and exposure spot on.

Thanks for all the encouragement there guys.

If you haven't used it yet, get a copy of Autostitch (www.autostitch.com), it's free and pretty easy to use. Simply take the shots with some overlap (I usually use a third of the previous frame in the next frame), convert all the shots to jpeg (Autostitch only uses jpeg), put them in a separate folder and point the software at it. You can adjust the setting after you see that it's combining the images correctly.

Cheers
