Hi Wes,

Thats a magnificent lunar image Wes!! Personally I think the moon is still more interesting to image than Mars (that is until it gets much bigger).

keep em comin

hopefully I'll get some good images from the Lum 075M soon, moons getting better placed!

Hey what do you think of the Infinity series from Lumenera? The 2.2 infinity looks really good to me, small pixel size, awesome sensitivity and still a high framerate if you do a ROI! I think they are around $2000.

cheers

WOW! Wes thats a razer sharp highly detailed image!!

That one blows away the Wilhelm image you did with the 14.5" come to think of it it blows away the lunar orbiter image too 8)
How was the seeing? 8/10?
I finally got the last of our square bale loads put away yesterday at our farm so I'm looking forward to some 1st quarter lunar imaging!

great work!

Gorgeous solar images Luca!! grin

I've been doing the same thing with Streampix, instead of converting it to an avi which is lossy, I just export it as either fits,bmp, or tif. I suppose any of those file formats are lossless?

ciao

Jim,

Got my copy yesterday too, very nice article! Congrats to all!! BTW Leroi Teivas amazing Jupiter image was in the back in the readers gallery, I think this is the best Jupiter ever taken. With a 14 SCT in what looks to be almost perfect seeing!
Yours truly also got his Rima Ariadeaus image in Chuck Woods lunar page!


cheers
