Plato

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Wes-

A beautiful Plato! I love seeing the fine detail that you are able to resolve on the cliffs and plateaus that surround the crater.

I hope that you stay safe and that things come under control soon in Oklahoma - the reports on the news look very scary.

best,
Alan

Mars. Jan 3, 2006

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Jim - very nicely done!

I think we've all gained skills from this season of mars - many of the images at this angular size seem to me better processed and more detailed than those of the same size from July/August.

Moon mosaic DMK 1024x768 camera

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Dodi -

That's a very handsome image and a good compromise - the resolution is unusual for a full disk image, yet it is still small enough to be fun to scroll around. Some areas - such as the Messier craters - show surprising detail. It needs a bigger monitor than my laptop screen to be truly appreciated.

Thanks for sharing it -

First and Last

Hi Walter -

Lunar libration makes it a hard mosaic project. I pieced it together to make a circle and remove the tush smile - but it looks pretty strange when compared to a lunar atlas.

Hi Johannes -

Nice work to be able to enlarge to this degree - it makes an impressive size and a dramatic picture.

Hi Tyler -

You did a beautiful job on this.
I had a CN212 some years ago - I thought it was a very a very good performer at the cassegrain focus.
