A couple from last night

Thought I had better put some more stuff up. I think I have slightly overprocessed the moon and Mars aint the greatest either, seeing was only about 4-5/10. The area that I imaged on the moon I am not sure of its name/location either.

great shots

although you say the moon is over processed it is showing an imense amount of detail! i like it

[asimov (John)]

Great shots mate! With the Takahashi? I got a rock-solid 9/10 here this morning. (3am onwards) Before that time yeah, it was 4/10 at the most.

Well done & great shots once again.

I was well and truly in the "scratcher" at that time. Also there was passing middle level cloud as well, which cut short my efforts. Thanks for the comments though.

[iceman (Mike)]

Nice shots! I love the Venus shot, so crisp! Well done.

[Robert_T]

great stuff - that Mars really shows off what excellent quality optics of modest aperture can do

Lovely Images there, you got to be happy with that! well done.

What was the camera & scope were used?

crap!!!

for me, your colour on mars is about as good as i have seen. Some guys like it lighter in colour, but something about yours and one rocket "docket in ya pocket" boy posted a month or so ago had great colour.

First glance as i opened your post, and i thought, "wow, great colour on mars!!!"

I was having a good gander at that same area on the moon pic 4 last night, it is so full of detail.



Not pissing in your pocket on mars, I really like it!!!

More great shots Peter ! well done .

Thanks people, finally getting the hang of it, sort of..The camera is the Toucam and the Tak, nothing special, well I suppose the tak is, but I am still way way behind anything the Bird produces. Must admit having the electric focuser on the tak has made focusing sooooo much easier. Must admit I am looking forward to the arrival of the gas giants.

Are you now adding a takahashi APO to your list Dave, or what??

[h0ughy (David)]

wow, gets better everytime we see them posted! nice work

bird has the image scale and detail, but i like your colour of the tak and sct's

Mars is red to look at with naked eye, orange ball thru my scope and then gets yellow after processing.



We need a 16" tak, birds camera and a paramount and we are there!!!!

A 16" Tak, now that is food for thought. Would need a big crane to mount it, and one to carry the money required to purchase same.

Excellent portfolio - you had a busy night Peter! Well done.

Cheers

Fantastic shots Peter.
I'm glad there was no problem with the TAK afterall.

[rumples riot]

Good work, progressing well.

[rochler]

Nice shots Peter, don't be too hard on yourself.
The craters in the closer image are Aristoteles and Eudoxus.
