Hi,
I am overwelmed by everbodies support, thats what I love about Astronomy, it's not just the science, it's also the lovely people you encounter
.
I still do not really underatand why Maxim DL 4 decided to align the image like this??
I have seen some weird alignments but this takes the cake. What possed it to do this I don't know unless the pup was in the image and its decided align some images I had missed that where not very good, and decided that it was the fainter seconday.
Anyway I have here some images I have processed that are more accurate in the alignment situation.
The first is the jewel Box Cluster taken with my 150mm @ f15.
on the 4/06/2009 and is composed of approx 55 red, 55 green & 55 blue frames combined into the coloured image and sharpened and then tweek in Photoshop CS3.

The fishes Mouth - part of M42 inculding the famous four - 150mm f5. This was taken a around feb 2009, I have cropped the image and enhanced it with wavelet filtering and has treated with Lucy-Richardsons deconvolution.

This is the only nebulosity of have captured with the LPI so far.
Another of the same but enhanced again in Red

This is a mosaic of last thursday imaging of Jupiter 17/09/2009 @21.40
203mm Meade LX10 f50
Meade LPI and is composed of aprox 90RGB images. I used wavelet filtering and Lucy-Richardson Deconvolution after combing the R G B seperately in there RGB groups, I then colour combined then, exported and tweeked in photoshop CS3. I then made the mosaic in Paintshop Pro 7. The Blue looking one at top left was from a seperate exposure where I used a Ultra High Contrast Filter for effect.
The various examples are different methods of combination, sum, average, SD Mask, Median & Sigma Clip. I won't list them here unless you are interested but have recorded this data
.

Back soon and clear skies
