Archimedes

Hi,

For this image I did two separate alignments one on the west side(left) and the other
on the east or right side and then cropped the images with some overlap and combined them into one image, IMO this produced a sharper image when compared to just one alignment.

12/04/04 18" Newtonian Reflector, DMK-21F04 Firewire camera. 30FPS, stack of 1000
frames from 2350.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

That looks very smooth and 3 dimensional.

Awesome resolution Wes!! Like Tom said its not often you get this many craterlets on the floor of Arch!
BTW great plan to get better sharpness, I certainly noticed with my last Saturn how one side of the image got sharper than the other depending where you placed the Reg curser! Certainly be a great leap forward to get some software that had multiple alignment points!!

Hello Wes,


Very nice image. Lots of great detail as usual.

Hi Wes,

Great shot of Archimedes. Lots of small craterlets, and well processed as usual.

Hi Wes,

Great image as usual. Is that the first image you've tried merging two halves of your image after separate alignments? It seemed to work out very well for you. Thanks for posting.

Exceptional image. As usual.
