Excellent detail and resolution, Zac.

For personal preference though, I prefer it scaled back a bit (without the resampling), as it appears much sharper and less artifacts from the resampling.

Looking forward to more fine images, Zac.

Very nice Zac. Heaps of detail throughout this wonderful image. I never tire of seeing Plato; there are so many things to see at different phases of the Moon and the varying angles of illumination.

Cheers

Dennis

Hey Mike,

Actually it's not resampled. The SkyNyx 2.1M has a 1392 X 1040 pixel chip size (and 4.65 um pixels if I remember). I usually just cut out the edges where stacking shifted frames gives a fuzzy edge, but otherwise I don't resample the SkyNyx images. I haven't had good enough seeing to really push the camera. The seeing on the night was averagey, hence the poor image.

At least the jetstream is subsiding.

ah sorry for the misunderstanding, Zac. I can't believe the resolution of those cameras.

Man registax must take ages to chug through those size files.
