Copernicus and Stadius

Hi all,

Heres my last image, the seeing was starting to get kinda bad at this point so it was tough getting enough good frames. I would have preferred a slightly higher sun angle, in the end it was almost too contrasted so I backed off the contrast a touch.
Stack of 190, 44 MAP points. Image scale 0.18"/pixel.

cheers

Hi Mike -

These images with deep shadow are much harder to process than those ata higher sun angle - you've done a very nice job on this.
I think I had the Copernican photo opp you were hoping for in my data from the day before (August 16th) - hope to get to work on it soon.

best wishes -
Alan

ps - Black Forest star party was a cloud and rain event too - I had the car packed but decided at the last minute to stay home.

Hi Mike,

The images you have been posting from your last imaging session have IMO been some of the best lunar images ever taken from our planet the tone clarity and detail have been amazing and this one is no exception, great! work.

Thanks,

Mike,

Simply amazing! 44 alignment points no less. I have finally figured out how Multi-Alignment Processing works and I can now appreciate the work you have put into this and your other beautiful images.

If I wasn't having so much fun trying to get some decent images myself, I would just sit back an look at all the wonderful images I am seeing here on A-Mart Forums.

Thanks to you all!

Keep them coming Mike,
Chase

Superbly done as is usual for you Mike. I had hoped for a chance at the Moon this month but the weather didn't cooperate, hopefully I'll have better luck in September.

Wow nice details and still sharp.

Now if I can get my brian to switch from mountain mode to crator mode I'm sure I'd enjoy it even more.
