Well, here I sit, waiting to view the Mercury transit with an opaque layer of water vapour over my head (and stretching to the horizon in all directions) hoping it'll burn off really, really, really soon...
Meanwhile I've been processing some of my avi's from November 1 (Moonage)....
Attached is a mosaic of 25
stacked images, each captured with my ToUcan and K3ccdtools at cassegrain focus of my C8, with UV/IR and Moon filters. All avi's MAP processed in Registax 4 and saved without wavelets. Photomerge, levels, unsharp mask, border, title and saved for the web in PS CS2.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the best effect of the 25 avis. A lot of them overlapped by more than I wanted. Sweeps in opposite directions didn't seem to be parallel
. No idea what was going wrong there! I had to reduce the image size as well as quality to post, unfortunately. Shame about the join the the right of Copernicus too... I should probably convert all my tiffs to jpg and run them through autostitch... maybe another day!
