Another Lunar Photo
« on: September 09, 2007, 03:24:35 PM »
Took this last weekend.  Took most of the week to process.  

Built up from the best quality 500/3300  sub-frames using regitax multi-point alignment (40 points).

Ate up about 20 solid CPU hours.  (and I had to start over once, don't want to talk about it!)  Then a couple of hours final tweaking.

Scope 12" Meade LX200.  Camera Skynyx 2-1M.


Vallis Alpes



To give you an idea of what was involved, here is a average single raw frame example: Raw Frame

Clear Skys,

Heh.  All my originals are in TIFF.  I just spit out the jpg for downloading courtesy.
