Hi-Res Tycho, 07/07/2006

Hi guys.

Took this tonight, with the DMK21AF04 and IR block filter. Seeing was much better than last night, and I was able to use the 5x powermate and get some usable data.

I'm running the 11 jupiter avi's through virtual dub now, so hopefully my first RGB jupiter will come tomorrow.

Here's a hi-res image of Tycho, taken at 30fps for 1 minute. 3 point MAP processing, stacking 200 frames on each. Combined, and then LR deconvolution performed. Levels raised and saved for web.

Comments welcome.

Yep - that sure is high resolution, no doubt about it. What a great image, there's no holding you back now is there? Can't wait to see what you can do when the seeing is good.

Cheers

Dennis

I like it. A lot!!!

The detail in and around the crater is fantastic.

It has a very natural look with lovely subtle contrast.

The lighter shades are particularly nice. Very clean looking.

Well done mate

Thanks again guys.

I reprocessed it this morning as it was all done on the laptop screen on Friday night. I've sharpened it up a bit and added some contrast too.

I think it's a better view.
