Hi Wes,

Thats a great image no matter what the conditions were! I'm still waiting for a good 1st light run with my Lumenera 075M, its been so bloody hot here and humid the mosquitos are nuts this summer!

Luminera first light (don't laugh...)

Posted By Mike Wirths
Paul,

Looks like a good 1st light image to me, I think in a couple weeks you'll be comfy with the camera/software. Might try what Luca suggested use 30fps. Hey I had to learn my new camera on the road!
Guesss thats why I did'nt get any good images :C

cheers

ISS 06-29-05

Wow Wes, thats so cool! grin
Correct me if I'm wrong but is this one showing a bunch more detail than your older ISS images? Or is it just they've built lots more on? Either way if had it set a little faster shutter speed it would have been perfect... what shutter speed did you use?
Maybe I'll give it a whirl one of these days!


thanks for posting it!!

Hi Wes,

Your last couple lunar shots have been very amazing!! I really like the crater(s) wall detail in this image, very striking!
So how do you like the IR filter now that you've used it a while?
BTW thanks for the tip on the new guide rate on the Sky Commander, I'll definitly have to get that!

cheers

Wow what a sweet shot! I never tire of seeing lunar shots whether they be mosaics, wide scenic ones, or high res like yours, there seems to be a never ending supply of interesting subjects in all manner of lighting! I love it! wink

Clavius enlargment

Hi Wes,

This is one of my favorite shots of yours!! It does hold up quite nicely to enlargement, makes those finest of features stand out better!
