toucam first light in 2/10 seeing

ving (David) · #1 01-05-2007, 02:41 PM

lol, i had to pick a really bad night for my first light didnt I!

oh well, never mind. the large joop and the moon were my toucam shots taken in about 2-3/10 seeing (horrid, ask matty), and the small joop is just a reworked lpi shot from good seeing.... wish i had that last night

oh, did i mention the transparency was aroune the 1-4/10 mark! I am suprised i got anything!

the moon is slightly over processed tho, i realise that. it can be fixed but i couldnt be bothered atm

Nice work David! The moon shot is great!

Pity about the seeing. There's always next time

Still very nice images Vingo !
It's always good to get some practice so you'll be ready for the corker !

Onya Davo!

"Seeing"... or lack of it, has been a right-royal PITA these past few days. I was looking forward to doing some more tonight and ... well... the clouds have already rolled in....

AARRGGHhhhhhh!!!

good to see you got it out Vingo, better conditions, better results l'm sure.

I would suggest that your work will quickly escalate to the very top of the heap, as a Toucam extraordinaire

Nice work Vingster

I also captured a few AVIs this morning and the result is about the same.

Bring on some good seeing!!!!!!!!!!
