Hello guys,

after reading in many of your posts that people were using more and more often a multi-alignment point technique, I decided I had to try if I could use it too.

The alignement part is easy, although time consuming, but the image composition/mosaic is true hell sad

However, it seemed as I managed to improve on the 1st image obtained with a single alignment point on Copernicus keeping the "patched" areas almost invisible.

Please any comment would be really appreaciated.

Data:
Copernicus Jan 11th UTC 00:12
Celestron 11" @ F10
Lumenera Infinity 2-1+R+IR filter

148/700 frames at full resolution and (nominally) 15fps
aligned and stacked in Iris 5.1; Photoshop for final touch ups and mosaic.


Sorry for the size, but I wanted to keep it at 100% to avoid hiding possible mosaic traces.

Ciao

Hi Luca,

Very nice wide field image the rays of Copernicus are very impressive, do you use the copy and paste method or the mosaic method of combining the images, I prefer the copy and paste method.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
