Longomontanus and Wilhelm

Hi,

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1M camera, MAP processing (Registax V4), stack of 250 frames, see link below, (large file)

I'm having back surgery tomorrow morning (11/08/06) so after today I might not be available to answer any questions about the image for a day or two, the good news is I'm having the surgery much sooner than I thought and I might find time to go to the Winter Star Party after all.

Clear and steady skies,

Wes Higgins

A superb job as usual Wes! I hope everything goes well tommorrow and I hope your able to make it in February. Unfortunately, I won't, but it would be great to see how well you could do with Saturn down there.
I got Longomontanus at a similar sun angle in October and have yet to process it. I'll be a happy man if it comes out a fraction of the quality of this.

Hi Wes,

great, now I have a high-res reference for my Longomontanus captured some time ago and know what the craterlets really look like
Impressive details and a fine tonality, just beautiful.
All the best for your surgery!

Best wishes,
Oliver

Hi Wes -

I'm viewing this image on my laptop screen - I can't imagine an image more accurately or beautifully processed.

My wife tells me that in the theatre it is bad luck to say good luck - so, break a leg and get back on your feet soon!

best wishes -
Alan

Beautiful image as usual. Will miss seeing your images but will be thinking of you during your surgery and recovery.

Clear and steady skies,

Great image Wes, as usual! I hope the recovery is quick and easy, and allows for some imaging time!

Wes, no words, just perfect !!
Regards Richard
