Plato project

I have been saving a nice pile of video taken in during the August lunation of Plato and the surrounding regions to keep me busy during our long Buffalo winter. A recent foot of snow encouraged me to get started - this is the first of the batch.

The project of assembling a large mosaic should take me a long time. The seeing was mostly fair but good at times. I wound up processing this more than I would have liked.

Captured with the 10" mak and DMK21BF04 webcam - 256 frames selected from 900.

Hi Alan,

Beautiful and very detailed image done with your usual impeccable processing, the only thing my Dec, 2004 Plato has over this image is an extra 8" of aperture smile
Great painting your dad has made of you I thought it was a photograph, as others have already said I can now see where you get some of your great talent from.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
