Wideview Closeup Moon 17-11-2010

Seems contradictory but on this evening was a big test for me to try some alternatives what I have traditionally imaged.

On this night I image Jupiter with no barlow and on this case i did the same "No Barlow". I managed to image 6 zones which can be merge to a degree but there are some exposure issue i am looking into.

To get the detail as attached a shot of the moon, I supersized the capture resolution from 640 x 480 to 1284 x 1024 at 7.5FPS.

The image shown is reduced in quality substantially to be viewed on the forum but seems to show some detail on what I was doing. The originals are far better in quality but massive in drive space.
Had fun capturing seeing seemed to be quite good. I will try and display another image in the hope to retain some detail.

Heres the other beef, processed these using AVIStack instead of Registax.

Cheers

I really had a wonderful night to see the 3 objects the way I did.

Attached is another one from the same session. COPERNICUS

Super duper!
Copernicus is my favourite crater, you've done a wonderful job of it.

Excellent images! I would love to see more!

Hi and thanks again for the comments, must have had good seeing on this one. While imaging I noticed something very peculiar with the webcam in that when I increased the resolution the the exposure level went higher to a point when I tried to image at 2600 x 2080 the images very bright even with a moon filter fitted.

I like Plato but didn't get much time to centre it before packing up.
