Clavius last week

Hi all,

Here is a two image mosaic of Clavius taken on August 26, 2005. It's my best image of Clavius so far. Not on par with the Masters of this group, but I'm very happy with it. I used multiple alignments on each image.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/25, ToUcam 840, IR pass filter, seeing 5-6/10, 190(average) & 174(average)/1200 frames respectively @ 10fps.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Hi Ed,

excellent image of a very interesting crater - loads of details there. You spit out loads of top notch images ATM 8)

Clear skies!

Ed,

Nice image! I captured Clavius that same night and have been thinking of trying the TouCam camera instead of my digital camera a-focally.

The quality of your image has helped me make that decision. Keep them coming....

Hi Ed,

VERY nice result!! Lots of great images from you lately! You might want to try what Paolo suggested though I made the mistake of using too large a wavelets before too, it tends to bleed out small details.

thanks for posting

Ed,

Beautiful image!! I am hoping to give Clavius a try when it's visible again and hope to get something near the quality of yours!!
