Hello,


I shot this on August 13th. It shows the Apennine Mountains and Hadley Rille. This was the best 500 frames out of 3,000 stacked in Registax. Meade 12 SCT, f/10, and DMK 21F04. Seeing was not very good this evening so I used multiple alignment points and pieced it back together.

Hi Kirk -

A very beautiful study in black and white. I enjoy the images at lower resolution too and am often in this same position - trying to find something to work on those too frequent unbarlowable nights (hows that for a new word?)

Hi Kirk,

A beautiful shot with impressive tonal variance.

Beautiful gray scale, especially in the lower half of the image. Reminds me of Ansel Adams!

Beautiful shot Kirk! I like your processing!
Some nights the seeings crap so I guess then its time for wider field stuff! I've wasted a few nights where I should have scaled back a bunch! :S

thanks

Mike
