Taken with Coronado SM60 + DMK21, processed in AviStack.
Trying different capture & processing techniques.
Last one taken with TV 2.5x Powermate.
Very windy, but quite happy with the results.

Very nice!
I like the style of presentation...
A little "over cooked" - I'd go easier with the wavelets and get a more natural surface (says he who last saw the sun weeks ago!)
Well done....looking forward the the SM60/PST double stack.

Thanks guys.
I know it's over-sharpened Ken - I got excited as last few days were the first clear days for months (except when I'm at work - it's clear then).
Still trying to find the best balance between surface details & contrast and the wavelets.
Processing data late at nkght doesn't help either...

Also having some issues with post processing - Avistack seems to flip processed images horizontally for some reason?

Still trying to source the aluminium for the SM60 adapter - no luck so far.
Have some aluminium plate here so might use this & mount it in PVC fitting, Similar to my D-ERF cell now.
