Moon Mosaic no2


Typical ! I have the week off for half term and I feel lousy. Hot & cold sweats, blocked then runny everything. Just stuffed up and a headache this morning. They kids have had a movie morning watching some Disney classics. While 2 computers processed a ton of frames. 24 images make up this wonderful moon mosaic. I used the same technique as described before using EOS live record. I kept the camera on the same plane as I recorded each AVI. My attempt was to capture the whole moon but looks like I missed a couple of sections. So here is a crop of the best part of the image. Stacked in Registax 6 and the same wavelet sharpening on each frame was used. Photoshop then used to align the frames. No colour correction or other processing used. I know it is not perfect as my 2x Barlow claims it ED but I always get colour fringing on one side of the image. Considering it is only a 90mm refractor. I am quite pleased with the result.
