A small Moon Mosaic

[JohnH]

Still unable to get a good shot of mars so I did this last night, ETX90/LPI....

That's a great image - very sharp!

hi john, thats lovely and sharp. hope you dont mind but its wallpaper now (pm me if you do and i'll remove it )

[JohnH]

Thanks for the kind words guys...it is killing me that I cannot get a sharp Mars pic - my mars shots were awful (see attached) and seeing was the same moon and mars both about 40 deg above the horizon.... I am begining to believe this is a limitation of my little 90mm MAK - that is not enough image scale on the LPI...for mars I had to use a 2x barlow...oh well the VCL200 is arriving tomorrow

Nice work!

I like the moon, i am attempting to do a major stitching process at next full moon. It consists of the toucam at 200x (roughly a 6mm eyepiece) taking video passes (7 or 8 in total). breaking up those videos into roughly 150 images per pass and then stitching together.

i stuffed up the last one two months ago, and weather stuffed last moons effort, but I am determined to get a full moon image that is 2500px x 2500px and that can be zoomed in to the 200x.
fingers crossed!

John you seem to have a recurring white pixcel in the mosaic. it that an artifact of the processing or from the LPI? Nice shots but!!

Very nice mosaic John! Very sharp and nicely processed, very natural looking.
