I am not really used to webcam imaging any more, but yesterday the moon was high up, the air was steady and I tried on Copernicus with my 16" cassegrain at only f/10.
DMK21BF04, 400 out of 2000 frames used for processing.

I forgot to use my IR-pass filter, so this is without filter.
The result enclosed is upsampled to 160%.

The stripes result from a wrong video codec that I used in error.

Hi Johannes -

Nice work to be able to enlarge to this degree - it makes an impressive size and a dramatic picture.

best regards,
Alan

Hi Johannes,

Great image, a lot of detail on the floor of Copernicus, I like large scale images smile

Thanks,

Wow, if that's an example of your work when you're out of practice, I'd love to see a shot when you're on top form. Great shot. smile

Beautiful image, Johannes!
