Hey guys.
Watching the moon swim and change shape in bad seeing is quite interesting.. except when you want nice crisp views and nice crisp images.
Here's a couple of luna shots in very ordinary seeing..
Details:
Scope: 10" dob without tracking
Seeing: 3.5/10
Transparency: 6.5/10
Capture: ToUcam 10fps, 1/50s, 0 gain, 0 gamma, 95% saturation
FL: ~3100mm, using 2.4x barlow pulled out and ToUcam pulled out
Processing: 1-2 frames stacked, photoshop filters and contrast/levels adjust
Pretty disappointed with them because they're just not as sharp as I'd like, but the seeing was just too bad..
Clavius - This is a single frame as there were no sharp frames to stack.
Mercator, Campanus and Kies - This is a stack of a couple of frames. Check this region in AS&T page 58.. obviously my image is not high enough resolution or sharp enough to really compare to the magazine shot, but anyway..
Thanks for looking.
