Usual settings for the Toucam.
This shot taken with Baader UV-IR filter
Deconvolution in Astra Image.
2.5 powermate.
seeing 5/10.
Despite the above seeing; some nice white spots can be seen in all belts.
Anyway it is a little grainy but when I used a filter on it I lost a little sharpness. Also some detail in the GRS visible. Might try to reprocess this later.
The GRS looks really nice, some great detail inside.
I went out and had a look, made sure my DSC's were still working for this weekend, but a blanket of high cirrus cloud meant imaging wouldn't have worked (gain would've had to be too high), but visually it was still a treat. The air was nice and steady.
Ok did a reprocess of this shot and got the one below, this one has less grain in the shot but is a little dimmer and not quite as sharp. Personally I think that these are the best I have produced this season.
What do you all think? Would like to know what others think.
Incidently, the compression that I am using is affecting the image quality, so the original seems to be a little sharper. You might like to sit back a little, around two feet from the screen to see the image at its best.
If you crop out the black from your image and make the overall size smaller, you shouldn't need any compression.
From registax I save as TIFF and BMP, then the TIFF can go into photoshop and the BMP into AstraImage. When you do a "save for web" in photoshop even at 100% quality, it ends up usually < 20k for such a small image.
Looking forward to next season already
