moonrise through a 14" A-P

Posted By Mike Wirths
Very sneaky thread topic Alan grin Ya had me goin!

A wonderfully captured image Alan, I think thats the key when the seeings crappy just drop back in FL and do some wide stuff, now you have a perfect scope to do that with!

I've been skunked the last couple nights with seeing, which is a shame since the moon had great altitude :S I was hopeful since the jetstream was way south of us and the CSC was predicting good seeing, oh well thems the breaks I guess.

Sweet Pitatus

WOW! Alan sweet is right! A wonderful lunar vista! Thats some serious resolution and image scale. Maybe we'll get some good spring seeing with warm temps so you can fill up that barrel again! Its been since October for me :S

Another Saturn from WSP 2007

Posted By Mike Wirths
Outstanding image John!! Love the colours on the globe! You should be able to get way better than 14fps though by drawing a small subframe around the planet. You should be able to get up to 40+ fps?

Theophilus, Archimedes & the eclipse

Posted By Mike Wirths
Stefan,

To my eye they are all superb images! I just love the overall effect of the Archemedes/ Apennines/Hadley image, its beautifully composed and processed, one worth printing out and framing!

Jupiter - another try

Posted By Mike Wirths
Wow Alan, great details! Gives me inspiration to give it a try as well, although I think I have too much aperture for this low altitude :S

congrats!
