Glad to hear you had a great trip & got to enjoy the skies Nico!
Wouldn't it be nice if all of our skies were that clear/dark?

I really hate light pollution!


When I retire I'm definitely gonna move to one of the darkest/clearest areas in the USA...



Clear skies, and thanks for sharing your experience!

Wrong Forum, but beautiful nonetheless...
Great results Yu, specially for a Toucam on a DSO... (seems you spent a lot of time on it though... ;-) )


Thanks for sharing!

Old Moon

Hello Glenn!

How did you take this image? what equipment/settings?

I tried to work with it, but there's way too much noise and plenty of artifacts... it is a "little" rough to begin with...

We might want ot leave it "as is", since it does not look bad at all now...


Maybe any of the originals are "better" to work with?




Clear skies!

choosing images from avi's

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Hello Eddie!

Most of the software that will allow you to process AVI's will allow you to SELECT frames. Specifically talking in my case about Registax & K3CCDTOOLS (both free), which they allow you to do so.



Clear skies!
