Hi,

This image of Vallis Alpes (Alpine Valley) is kind of grainy and not that good but with the seeing I had last night (03/19/05) I was surprised that any thing was usable smile I could only get 185 usable frames and hence the grain.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes,

It looks very good to me, better than I could ever get, even under very good seeing. Is that image taken with your new filter?

Clear skies,

Ed Roach

Hi Wes,

the rille is crisp and clean, the mountaintops show nice tones without burnt out highlights - that's a very good image 8)

Clear skies!

Despite the noise there is some incredible detail. That is very nice processing with the few frames you had to work with.
