Big south pole!

Hi all,

Finally back to a bit of imaging, had about 1/2 hour of OK (5-6/10) seeing this am around 5:00. I think this is my biggest image yet, the whole Infinity 2-2 chip, so it needed a LOT of MAP processing... 24 points. I see though that there are a few areas that could be sharper so probably it needs around 30.
2-2 Infinity, 2.5X's powermate, R/IR filter, 18" Starmaster. Stack of 132/600

a few more to come...

Mike,

Simply awesome!

Hey Mike: What an image

I don't think I could ever count so many craterlets inside Clavius before today!

It is truly an outstanding image, full of detail everywhere you look and so smoothly processed.

Thanks for showing it to us Mike.

Hi Mike,

8O 8O WOW! Mike what an amazing image, sure looks better than 5-6/10 to me I was about to post a Julius Caesar image that I felt pretty good about until I saw this image but I will post it anyway, congratulations on a fantastic image and excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Mike,

Wow!! That is awesome!

Hi Mike - Very Big and very Beautiful. I wonder if you are applying unsharp mask differently to the MAP regions? If so, it might be preferable to combine these regions and process the image as a whole to avoid the noticeable differences in sharpness across the field?

Looks very good. Can somebody tell me what MAP is??

Amazing Mike,

Totally overwhelming. Thanks for the posting. I wonder what a 20" or larger would be like.
