IISAC 2015 - A few more images from the Camp

PhilfromOz · #1 26-03-2015, 09:10 AM

Hi Mike,
Ken, Craig, Geoff and myself (Phil) came to Lostock this year as first-timers, arriving on the Thursday to set up camp. Fun - its been a while since I slept under canvas.... Very hot / humid on Thursday, but the Night Sky brought back memories of my trip around outback NSW/QLD. Friday was then really hot / humid, but we found the swimming hole, which provided relief. Late afternoon, the cloud came in, so no viewing at all, but another camper (Bill & Wendy?) had brought in a Fireplace & Wood, so a campfire was had. Excellent, although a few too many beers. Saturday was wet, so rather than stay until Sunday, we decided to pack-up and return home around lunchtime. A great weekend.

What's that in image three near Alpha Centauri? A head on meteor?

I think it's a second image of alpha centauri... I think the join hasn't gone well. I can see it at 4 o'clock from alpha centauri... all the stars along that line are duplicated the same distance apart. You don't see that very often.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedback. I will re-examine the originals and see if I can align them better. Phil

Good luck, Phil.

I've sometimes had success, just redoing them. Other times I've had to select them for photomerging in a different order. In the old days I had a selection of software to try to get alignments, but I've only used PS for such a long time now. My last resort has been to manually align.
