Hi Wes - A gorgeous wide vista processed with a perfect balance of detail and realism. Will be traveling for the next week but look forward to catching up with the rest of your new images.

That is a very nicely crafted image with good color and detail. You should be able to get great results from your set-up when the air is steady.
Looking forward to seeing more of your Jupiter images.

The solar showPosted By Alan Friedman |
Hi Luca -
That's a superbly detailed and beautifully processed shot. Your Copernicus and other recent solar images look great too. Keep up the great work.

My best Plato ever!Posted By Alan Friedman |
Hi Luca -
A very nice Plato indeed! If you apply a very harsh unsharp mask in Photoshop you will count quite a few other craterlets too - use Wes' benchmark image to help identify them.

A Big SunPosted By Alan Friedman |
Thanks Luca and Dennis.
Luca - it didn't take too long to do because I just scanned the video and selected one sharp frame to paste into Photoshop. The signal is pretty good in a single frame, but the brightness varies quite a bit - adjusting the image to hide the seams is the hardest part (and it could have used a little more work!)
cheers-
Alan

Saturn April 7, 2006Posted By Alan Friedman |
That turned out really well, Paul - the disk detail especially. I wonder if that is the remnant of the storm in the STZ showing to the upper left of the disk near the edge?

CopernicusPosted By Alan Friedman |
Hi Luca -
A very fine Copernicus and the processing is very smooth and natural. It is funny to see it - I only took 3 video streams of the moon this week because the seeing was very poor - one of them is Copernicus at almost the same sun angle as this.
Did you use a multiple alignment process on this image? The Copernicus itself is nice and sharp, but some of the small craters in the surrounding terrain seem not to have been resolved. Aligning the selected frames on these outlying areas might be worth the effort on such a nice image.
best wishes -

Tak LE eyepiece capsPosted By Alan Friedman |
This is where you want to go:
http://www.caplugs.com/
You will find many that look familiar - Televue and others have used their products.
I only own the 50mm Tak LE and walked it over (they are located down the road from me) to find the right fit. I would measure the top and then call them for assistance.
hope that helps -
