One for the "Lunatics"

Hi Damian,

I just spent about thirty minutes(I enjoyed every minute of it) looking at your new lunar images and they are all fantastic! images, I am definitely a lunatic smile I actually enjoy lunar imaging more than planetary imaging.
I'm glad you also took some lunar images during your Barbados trip, they are all excellent and thanks for posting a link to them.

Hi Paul,

Your color is getting better, the B&W image has excellent detail, was that from the Lumenera ?.
I'm glad to hear you like the Lead Codec.

Thanks,

Hi Richard,

Excellent! image, with a certain type of seeing condition multiple alignment points can make a big improvement to a lunar image, I have used that technique on some images with good results, the problem as you well know is that it takes so much extra time to do it.
I hear Iris has a function to do something similar but from the images I have seen the results are not as good as doing a real multiple alignment.
That is a very! detailed image and thanks for posting it.

Lunar Images

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Chris,

Nice images, what would you rate the seeing for these images and what was the approximate altitude of the moon when you took these images, I hope you continue to image the moon and post more images.

Thanks,

Hi Luca,

That is a very fine image of Ptolemaeus, nice to see some lunar images from the LUO75C.

Hi Dodi,

That camera should give you some great images I look forward to seeing them, it's great that some of the companies that write the capture software are paying attention to our needs, Streampix is also making changes that help with Astro imaging.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
