DElaunay & others

Posted By Larry Citro
hi all,

Here's and image of Delaunay ( the bisected crater left center ) with la Caille below and Blanchinus below right and Faye and Donati above it.

Taken with a C8 orange tube at f25 and ToucamPro. Aligned in Registax and processed in MaximDl v4 and paintshopPro.

Clear skies & happy new year all,

Albategnius reprocessed

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

reprocessed this shot and tried to dig out a few more craterlets on the floor. 8"SCT at f25 & ToucamPro, old & new comparison. I think I'm going to go to a 10" and longer FL ( 300" instead of 200" ).

comments appreciated,

Re: PREMIUM SELECTED OPTICS!

hi,

i think that's a good idea, so long as you get what you pay for. I wish Meade or Celestron would do it.

Registax 3 ... dso processing

Posted By Larry Citro
Hi all,

Registax v3 is a good tool for high pass filtering on deep sky images if they have enough S/N ratio. Use linear, gaussian and 0.05 to 0.07 in the tab boxes for each layer an play around with it. It's quite good. To take care of any noise use Photoshop or PaintshoPro.

Registax and deep sky images

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

I'm finding Registax v3 is a good too to use on DSO images to sharpen them up using the wavwlet functions in the linar gaussian mode. While it works on tiff, fits and bmp images so far I've been using it on jpegs with good results.

An old image of m51 taken with a C8 is shown before and after processing with Registax. The image on the right is the same jpeg as the left image just after wavelet processing.

clear skies,
