Just an experiment!

Hello guys,

since here the weather keeps pn teasing us with exceptional transparency, but dreadful seeing, last night I collected some images only to create a mosaic of the whole moon. I had to use the 4" Tak at F8 since 800mm was the longest focal that I was able to use to beat the worst seeing I've ever seen on a clear night :C

For this reason the mosaic isn't very interesting, but it was obtained with four shots and I believe I'm beginning to get the gist of this "mosaic-ing" with PS.
Size reduced to 80%. Camera is Lumenera Infinity 2-1; each section is a stack of 10 frames out of 50.

Ciao all

Hi Luca -

I think it's a fine mosaic. I have made a number of full disk lunar images and I am always trying to make one a little better than the last. I thought the image a little dark overall perhaps the histogram can be stretched some?

best,
Alan

Thanks Paolo and Alan

I'll try to tweak the Histogram a bit, when I come back from dinner (social stuff: I couldn't care less with the sky clear and the Olympics on tv. But I've a lovely wife who puts up with me, so I must put up with her sometimes :S )


Ciao

PS just came back and here is the Auto Levels version of the same picture 8)

Thank you all guys for the great help and the tricks that you taught me.

The result is a team effort, so congratulations to all!

Ciao
