Hi guys.
Here's a partial mosaic of the moon that I got around to processing and stitching together today.
I took the avi's on the 1st Feb 2005, and wasn't really intending to do a mosaic at the time, so that's why there's so many pieces missing (ie: more than 50% of the moon :)).
I figure that when the individual avi's aren't exciting enough on their own, I may as well practise my mosaic technique.
I *know* that the stitching is evident in the fullsize version, and I know that some pieces are slightly different in contrast/brightness, but i'm not fussed about it because this was just practising technique, since I didn't have enough avi's for the whole disc. I just didn't have time to adjust each one to look the same at this stage. I also think I may have adjusted settings between some of the captures as well, my memory fades quickly :)
These are taken with my 10" dob (no tracking) and ToUcam at 2500mm FL (with 2x barlow), I think the capture settings were 1/250s shutter speed.
