Hi Wes,

8O There must be no atmosphere above your location because your images appear perfect! grin Extremely impressive as always.

Clear skies,

Wes,

Awesome image (what else is new.. wink ). I'll bet you did very little with wavelets with that and likely not even much post processing. Can't wait to see some Mars from you (if the hurricane doesn't affect your seeing).

Hello,

A lovely shot, makes a very natural view of Copernicus.

My I ask how do you deconvolve the shots? What software are you using?

Kind regards,
Ido.

Superb image! Please excuse my dumbness, but when you say "IR Pass Filter", you do mean a filter that blocks IR from getting through? Is that correct? I'm still trying to build up my imaging knowledge database!

Thanks

John
