Moon 02-11-2009 mosaic

Took a long time this one, found the condition although clear found a lot of atmosphere vriations with such high magnitude.

The ultimate processing pleasure came from iMerge program. Absolutly brilliant used it for the first time on this program and reduced the process by a long way.

Specs:
  • Camera - vAgent V5 webcam (have a problem with colour on this camera so cannot process in colour) 1024 x 768 resolution.
  • AVI - 23000 frames total 32GB approx, had to delete quick because HD was getting full. Reduced to 5400 frames with Virtuedub
  • iMerge - Ultimate mosaic program especially for the moon, made things so easy Click here for final image from iMerge
  • Registax, final 4 images using different wavelet settings and process. All rework using the Histogram function to get the most detailed contrast. Click here for the first of the images (This is the worst). image 2, image 3, image 4
The reason it took so long was that I tried using GIMP and adjusting brightness and contrast for each image. Had to give up in the end until i tried iMerge. took altogther 2 short days to get the final image.

Let me know what you think and if things are not the best. I will be using a different camera hopefully next time. I hope the colour will be better.
