Tycho 23 March

[EricB (Eric)]

Hi there!

I am so proud of this capture that I have decided to venture out of the Beginners section to post here.

I have had 2 good Moon capture sessions lately: 23 March and 25 March. On both days the seeing was good, allowing me to test both the DMK41 and the ASI120MM under decent conditions. On 23 March I grabbed over 40 GB of data, my record so far. So there is plenty of data to process and play with!

Tycho was imaged with the ASI120MM and a 2.5 Powermate.

Thank you for looking.

Cheers,

Eric

PS the photo posted is JPG and has lost a bit of its original quality

I would suggest you are no longer a beginner.

Super image - congratulations - you should happy! That is certainly not a beginners shot! Looking forward to more!

[EricB (Eric)]

Thanks Hugh, Ralph and Matt for your encouragements. There are more pictures to come!

Cheers,

Eric

Excellent image, well done!

The jpeg is only 33kb. You're allowed to attach up to 200kb, so if you save for jpeg and specify your quality (still staying under 200kb) you shouldn't lose any clarity when presenting for the forum.

Please post a larger image Eric. Looks like I have been missing some good seeing of late. Nice image and well processed.

Thanks Mike and Paul.

Here is the original jpg image at 141 KB. Somehow it's not any larger size-wise.

Paul, except these 2 days, the see has been very ordinary around here (I am in Flagstaff Hill). I hope it gets better soon!

That better Eric.
Pretty superior imaging on your site mate. Very much above average I would say. Well worth the look guys: http://ejbouvet.wix.com/moonscapes

Eric, look for days when a high pressure is over or very near centered over Adelaide. This produces good seeing results. I am at Glenalta most of the time and seeing can be a struggle in the hills zone. I am using Clayton Bay as the seeing is very good there but requires driving down there which is not always convenient.

Thanks Ralph to encouraging comments about my website. I am certainly having a great time imaging the Moon, so back in January I thought that a repository of my best pictures would be a good idea. There is lot's of room for improvement though.

Thanks Paul for your tips. I think I now need to take the scope out of my backyard to darker and better sites if I wnat to improve my imaging.

Cheers,

Eric

It won't be any larger in dimensions, because the camera is only 640x480 most likely

Nope, no longer a beginner, LOL. Nice shot, very nice.

Fantastic Eric, your images have certainly come a long way. I love seeing crater shots.

Thanks Ray, Gary and Peter.

Mike, you are right.

I 'll start a new thread with more photos from this imaging session. I will add them as I process them. there might be a few

Thank you all for your support.

Cheers,
