Gassendi - 20/05/2005

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all.

Here's a 2-frame mosaic of Gassendi + Mare Humorum, taken on the 20th of May on a night of very good seeing.

Details:
- 10" dob (no tracking) + ToUcam Pro 840k
- Capture settings: 5fps, 1/100s exp., no gain, 0 gamma
- Seeing: 7/10, Transparency: 8.5/10
- FL approx 3100mm, with 2.4x barlow pulled out and ToUcam pulled out.

Processing:
- Hand selected the best frames to stack, no more than 20 of each image.
- Stacked and minor wavelets processed in registax, then 2 frame mosaic created in autostitch, then finally processed (levels/sharpen) in Photoshop.

Here is a cutdown for forum version, the full version can be seen by clicking here.

Comments and feedback always welcomed.
