Solar Cal-K image with proms

Hello Russell and congratulation on this great image!

I had seen example of Cal-K proms on the Coronado website (image gallery), but yours is so far the nicest I've seen.

Ciao Russell and please keep on posting Cal-K pics.

Saturn

Hello Brian,

I agree it is a bit soft, but it could be because of the "blobs" that Registax pulls out. I am afraid that your only chance to really SELECT images is to do a manual selection. It is time cosuming and you are going to look approximately like this 8O at the end, but the result can be much improved.

Ciao

stormy mars final version

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Congratulation Alan: as usual smooth and detailed images, The October 21st image gives a rough idea of the planetary proportions of the event 8O

It is amazing that some of you guys have been able to push planetary imaging beyond unthinkable boundaries. I bet you that even the most experienced among us couldn't have predicted these developments only 3-4 years ago! Being able to document the development of a dust storm on mars with such wealth of details using webcams and amateur telescopes is nothing short of astonishing, even if we almost take it for granted.

BRAVISSIMO grin

Ciao Alan

Great image Russell! Congrats on the new toy!

I'm also awaiting delivery of the 2-1 from Paolo and I too got the mono version this time grin

I think I'll stick to the LU075 for colors though 8)

Ciao Russell and thanks for sharing the image.

Not Mars Cassini

Posted By Gianluca Valentini

Thank God something different from Mars grin

These oppositions can become quite tedious indeed.
However, a magnificent lunar picture Wes: smooth yet detailed, in your unmistakable style.

My Infinity is on its way to Daddy Luca grin

and this time it is a monochromatic, so a whole new world for me.

Ciao Wes
