Ok

Never posted this pic before, its from the night where I shot a bunch of lunar pics (the 18th) but this one never turned out cause gusty wind made keeping it centered a task.
So inspired by Kirk and Wes's mosaics to sharpen up images, I decided to try it myself. I restacked the avi using 4 reference points and then recombined them (not very smoothly either) in Images Plus software (is there a "best" mosaic sofware out there?).
Go easy on me Guys this is my 1st mosaic I know theres lines in it. Sure did work to get it a fair bit sharper though!!

cheers

Mike,

Impressive image, the rille shows up very well, due to the length of it the Alpine Valley is a good candidate for multiple alignment points.
Software to do this automatically would sure be great!

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Mike,

A nice (and highly detailed) image of the Alpine Valley. The rille down the middle of the valley is easily visible. Thanks for sharing.
