Rima Ariadaenus

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Mike,

Great! resolution and contrast, this image has all the ear marks of imaging at an 11500mm focal length with an 18" scope on a night of good seeing, there is even detail within the rima, very impressive.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Yet another Jupiter!

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Luca,


Very good image, as you said maybe just a little to much saturation, very
natural processing though, I agree that 9000mm FL would be a better FL to image at.

Thanks,

Theophilus & Cyrillus mosaic

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Mike,

Amazing image scale and resolution, Panorama Maker V3 will automatically correct for field rotation when making a mosaic, I was amazed at how well
it corrected the rotation in my images.

Thanks,

Jupiter: April 16, 2005

Hi Ed,

Excellent image, IMO very natural colors as compared to a Hubble image I have started using to judge the color of Jupiter images.

Thanks,

Bossingault, multiple crater!

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Mike,

The images you have been posting from the night of April 15 are some of the best lunar images ever taken, I saw the images you posted at the domilunari group and they are all amazing 8O , the over all detail and the processing of your Bossingault image is outstanding!

Thanks,

Jupiter 17 April 05

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Ivan,

Very! nice image, I know what you mean about deceptively calm, the jet stream has been about a 1000 miles away from Oklahoma the last few nights
but the stars are still blinking like a strobe light sad

Thanks,

Hi Ed,

Excellent image very detailed, how many divisions did you separate the image into for the multi-alignment.

Thanks,

Lots of Solar System objects (Part 1)

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Paul,

You have really been busy, all great images too, you should send those lunar images to LPOD.

Thanks,

Plato w/4" apo

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi John,

Great image, I can see a fair amount of craterlets, one of the best images of Plato from a 4" scope that I have seen.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
