Hi all.

On Saturday morning inbetween Jupiter runs, I took a quick avi whatever area of the moon the dob fell on :)

Turns out it was the craters Atlas (bottom left) and Hercules (top left). Atlas shows some nice rilles in the floor.

The avi was only a couple of hundred frames, and I only stacked 7 frames so the image was quite noisy. I did "MAP" (multi-alignment point) processing on this - I aligned on 5 different areas from the same avi, and processed them identically, and recombined them in photoshop after.

After stacking, I took the green channel and did some mild LR deconvolution before taking back to photoshop. Noise was removed using NeatImage.

The seeing was fairly average but I think the image came out ok thanks to the lengthier than normal processing run.

Comments welcome.

Hey Mike, nice image, very crisp despite the seeing.:thumbsup: Some interesting little features just to right and lower than the main creater, almost like tiny pairs of scratches?

cheers,
