Jupiter 03/28/05 (new camera)

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

I had hopes for a better first light image with my new Lumenera LU075C color camera but the seeing would not cooperate, the image is very soft but I do think that imaging at 60FPS with the LU075C camera helped me to get something from almost nothing, my 18" scope gives enough light for 60FPS on Jupiter.
I think when the seeing improves this camera can give some very good images.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Jupiter and Io 04/01/05

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is second light for the new Lumenera LUO75C camera and the seeing was a little better this time, I really think this camera is capable of providing some exceptional
images if the seeing will just get a little better.

Hadley Rille

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

After seeing Paolo's excellent Hadley Rille image it reminded me that I had a Hadley Rille Avi that I had not processed yet, one thing I noticed about this image is that if you look at the bottom of the image and then slowly look up to Hadley Rille it has a 3D look as though you are looking down from a mountain top at Hadley Rille, well it looks that way to me anyway smile

Petavius with no shadows 04/15/05

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This image of Petavius was taken with a high sun angle and at more of an oblique
angle than usual, very fast and jittery seeing conditions.

Fracastorius 04/15/05

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Fracastorius 04/15/05

Left side alignment and right side alignment and then cropped and merged as one image, this can make a big improvement in the sharpness of some images.
