Reminds me of the Voyager images, just can't stop staring at this one.

I wouldn't have believed such detail was even possible to capture from earth...

That second round of data is utterly gobsmacking.

Thanks for linking to some raw video too Anthony - I've always wondered what your raw data feed might look like. Very educational for the dreamers looking on here with awe...

Think we just solved the world's space exploration budget. Forget sending satellites into space, just throw more scopes and cameras at Anthony Wesley.

Thanks for posting the video. Amazing that's at around 10m focal length. Amazing.

Thanks everyone. The jetstream has moved back in again, so no data from last night... but I'm still hopeful that I'll get some more good seeing before I come back at the end of the month.

cheers, Bird

How could this image not be IOTW!?

Apologies to everyone for the length gap between IOTW's - I've been very busy and my mind has been on other things.

I'll do my best to get back into a regular routine from now on.

Congrats Anthony on a stunning image.

Thanks guys.

Here's something that will be of interest to other imagers - a fairly simple way to derotate the R,G,B channels so that they align better. If you have a close look at my images above you can see the misalignment from each channel being 1 minute apart... especially around the edge.

Anyhow, I discovered that you can load the individual channels into WinJupos and do an "Image Measurement" on each of them, setting the time that they were taken, and then use the "Image Computation" to combine these and WinJupos will rotate them to all line up correctly.

WinJupos got it close, but not exactly right, so I followed it up by loading the RGB image into Astra Image, splitting the channels out and then recombining them with a couple of small alignment changes.

So here's the result of trying this out... as you see, this image has good alignment between the channels both at the edge and the centre.

cheers, Bird
