Partial Lunar Mosaic - 1st Feb 2005

Hi guys.

Here's a partial mosaic of the moon that I got around to processing and stitching together today.

I took the avi's on the 1st Feb 2005, and wasn't really intending to do a mosaic at the time, so that's why there's so many pieces missing (ie: more than 50% of the moon ).

I figure that when the individual avi's aren't exciting enough on their own, I may as well practise my mosaic technique.

I *know* that the stitching is evident in the fullsize version, and I know that some pieces are slightly different in contrast/brightness, but i'm not fussed about it because this was just practising technique, since I didn't have enough avi's for the whole disc. I just didn't have time to adjust each one to look the same at this stage. I also think I may have adjusted settings between some of the captures as well, my memory fades quickly

These are taken with my 10" dob (no tracking) and ToUcam at 2500mm FL (with 2x barlow), I think the capture settings were 1/250s shutter speed.

Click here for the full size (530k)

Click here for the medium size (250k)

Below is the full reduced shot.



Comments welcome!

Thanks guys!

I showed my wife my latest pics of Saturn, Jupiter and this mosaic, and she liked the mosaic best.

Next time there's a nice crescent i'll have to be really thorough and take enough avi's to cover the whole lit surface. It'll take some time to process though
