Walter

Hi everyone,

This is an image of Walter I took on Saturday. I'm still not sure what the gamma setting should be for Lunar images so I set it at 50%. I wish I could have gotten a bit more detail, but the conditions didn't allow for it. I also used the multi-alignment technique on this image (Thanks Wes).

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/24.5
Phillips ToUcam 840
Edmund Optics R+IR band filter
Seeing 5-6/10
Frames= 231/1056 @ 5fps
Image Taken at 2:01 UT on April 17, 2005
Resized 110%

Thanks for looking,

Hi Ed,

Excellent image very detailed, how many divisions did you separate the image into for the multi-alignment.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Beautifully done Ed!! I don't know about the gamma issue since I'm working with more aperature I use it only when imaging stuff on the terminator that is a little dim, but basically I try to get it to look good on the moniter i.e. not areas that are burned out, but a pleasing balance of all of the lit areas. Then its all up to the seeing which is the luck of the draw!!

--great stuff
