Here I was yesterday morning with 30mn to kill before heading off to work. Dawn wasn't very far off and the Moon was sooo tempting... I just had to roll up the garage door and hook up the computer to the scope to get it in AP action.
I pointed the scope to the moon, adjusted the focus of the ASI120MM... the image on the screen waved and shaked... disappointment. I thought while I am here I'd better take a few AVIs, just in case. I went to work thinking I had wasted my time.
In the evening, I processed a few AVIs which confirmed my impression of the morning: it had been a waste of time. Wait! what about processing that Clavius AVI which look a bit better than the rest? Crikey!! said I, after having pushed the deconvolution button. Not that bad after all!
It may not be my best Clavius (it's a bit fuzzy around the edges), but it's decent, I think.
When you think the seeing is not quite there, you never know your luck. The Heavens could open up for a few seconds, just for you!
I also attach an image of Archimedes, from the same session, which I also like.
Concerning the texture, I am trying to move away from the hard sharpened feel of earlier images. I find that less hardness (and, consequently a bit less definition) is more pleasing to the eye (mine at least) as it looks more natural.
