Lunar crater Hainzel

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
A very nice shoeprint indeed grin I have an F10 shot of that area that I still have to process. I will give it a shot tonight back into my hotel room (I'm in Germany for my job).

It seems like even for you 2006 hasn't started very well, meteorologically speaking. Let's hope in some improvement soon.

Ciao Wes

Beautifully done Alan! As usual the processing is smooth and the colours are outstanding.

Thanks for letting us appreciate it.

My very humble attempt at Clavius

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Also this wide field shot taken a few nights ago: the seeing did not allow any longer focal, so I ended up shooting what I could :C

Fantastic sight 8O
Your processing is truly impressive Johannes.

I must say I enjoy a lot having you back on this forum (haven't seen you for a while until quite recently). Your work has been truly inspiring for me in my earlier days and was greatly missed.

Ciao and thanks

Saturn 02/05 Storm on a Perfect Night!

Wonderful image Chris! As usual, I should add smile
To what percentage did you increase the original size? At which FL did you acquire?

Interesting for Lumenera and Registax users!

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Hello Robert,

it is exactly like that: just select the 16bit option and then convert the sequence into PNGs in the export window. After that open Registax, select all the frames and DRAG THEM INTO THE INITIAL SCREEN. DO NOT CLICK ON SELECT AND THEN SELECT THE FRAMES AS YOU DO FOR THE AVI FILES, because that will limit the no. of frames you can process!!

Ciao Robert

My 1st Saturn in a long time!!

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
This is a second attempt, but the colour is off and I can't find a way to solve it without compromising something else. I believe this is the best I can get out of this image sad

Ciao all

Thanks Paolo and Alan grin

I'll try to tweak the Histogram a bit, when I come back from dinner (social stuff: I couldn't care less with the sky clear and the Olympics on tv. But I've a lovely wife who puts up with me, so I must put up with her sometimes :S )


Ciao
