Image of the day

Hi Eric,

Very good image, you might want to try more alignment points, the bad thing about MAP is once you get stared it seems you can never get to many alignment points smile

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Superb image, judging from the excellent images you have posted the Powermate 2.5x and your Infinity 2-2m looks to be an excellent combination for your 18" starmaster, with the slightly larger pixels of my Infinity 2-1m a 3x barlow and my 18" should give about the same image scale, I will try that next chance I get.

Thanks,

Plato (from a steady night)

Hi Alan,

Everything about this image looks near perfect can't wait to see some more images from that night, someone may have already asked this, how many alignment points did you use.

Thanks,

Lambert, a ghost crater and Copernican ejecta

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Mike,

Excellent!!, great detail and tonality, Lambert R is my favorite ghost crater.
I was just comparing it to my Lambert image taken with the DMK-21F04 (5.6 um pixels) and a 4x Powermate (same scope of course) and your image scale is closer to mine than I thought it would be, those small pixels of the Infinity 2-2 really pump up the image scale smile

I assume you were using the 2.5x Powermate.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

That is a JDI (jaw dropping image) for sure!, bright light dark room or standing on your head it still looks super impressive 8O , way to go Mike.
