Hello Mauricio,

I'm no authority in this matter, but I found this site very helpful (I eventually purchased the cd-book): http://www.astropix.com/

Hope this will help.

Ciao

Great stuff Mario smile Which camera did you use and approximately how many frames did you stack?

Not bad for a second choice avi Wes! Great touch as usual.

Here the weather seems to have no intention to get better :C :C :C
and I had not one chance to try my Infinity yet :C :C :C :C

I hope you guys from the Americas get better weather and post like crazy so we can get our fix!

Ciao Wes

Thanks a lot Alan!

Please accept my greetings to you and your dears for a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.

Let's hope 2006 will bring us clearer skies than 2005 grin

Ciao Alan

Well beyond diffraction limit?

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
In my opinion the image is way overprocessed and not comparable even from a distance with many images posted here (except maybe for mine sad )

As far as the very interesting topic of resolution, I'd like to thank Roland for bringing science into the discussion: the only real way of answering this sort of question wink

Ciao all

Luca

PS Merry X-mas to all from Italy. May you spend it well and in the company of the people you really care for.

Infinity 1st moonlight

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Here is the same picture processed in a different way: they have both been processed in Iris and post-processed in PS and almost the same way, but the picture in the previous post had had a little wavelet applied in Iris, whereas the one posted here was processed only with levels and unsharp mask in PS.

Now is there, in your opinion, any appreciable difference?
Which one do you prefer?

Infinity 1st moonlight

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Thank you very much Richard and Edward!

I had not imaged the moon in a while and I forgot how beautiful it looked through the eyepiece and later on the pc screen. Must do some more of it wink .

Ciao guys
