Hi,

Like Paolo I have had very bad weather and seeing for over 50 days now and I have been going back to SEQ files that I had passed over the first time and processing some of them now this Archimedes image was taken on 08/25/05, I'm itching to go after Saturn if the weather would just cooperate >sad

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1M camera, 23fps, stack of 314 frames.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

That is a stunning image, Wes - the clarity and definition of the shapes of the tiny craterlets is amazing. I'm glad you went back and finished it.

best -
Alan

Hi Wes.

your archive of unprocessed material always reveals jewels like this one smile Beautifull!

Clear skies!

Not bad for a second choice avi Wes! Great touch as usual.

Here the weather seems to have no intention to get better :C :C :C
and I had not one chance to try my Infinity yet :C :C :C :C

I hope you guys from the Americas get better weather and post like crazy so we can get our fix!

Ciao Wes
