registax 4 & imerge moon

asimov (John) · #1 31-10-2006, 08:10 PM

Hi all. 2 nights ago I took a couple of moon shots through the 5.5" schmidt newt, couldn't fit the whole thing on the toucam chip so I took 2 AVI's with intentions of making a 2 frame mosaic using imerge.

So each AVI was a stack of 900 with a manual 3 point alignment in registax 4 & the 2 finals merged using imerge. Can't wait until the moons full

Cheers.

Hi Asi

Very nice 1st Qtr mosaic. I especially like the very natural look. Shadows and highlights very well contained and controlled - well done!

Cheers

Dennis

Excellent work, John. Nice wide field from the short f/l newt!

Thanks guys. The 'containing & controlling' came at capture time by using filters (IR/UV cut / Fringe Killer / Contrasr booster) & a fairly high exposure rate. If one can do that, it means less proccess work after.

Hi Vingster. I have not tried autostitch yet, but why bother if imerge does such a good job, which it seems to do. I'm satisfied in any case; but its only my first merge so I better test it more thoroughly first.
