2nd try at Saturn

Posted By Tyler Allred
I took another Saturn series yesterday morning, but didn't get around to processing until today. This is a stack of the best 250 frames of 1609. The conditions were somewhat better than they were on my first try. I managed a little more detail on the disk this time, but I am puzzled as to why the outer rings appear to be thinner on the right side than on the left.... an artifact of the processing.... but why? Even some of the individual frames looked like this. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Lunar Image

Posted By Tyler Allred
I tried a little lunar imaging in addition to the Saturn photos. I don't know the moon features yet.... I need to get a good lunar atlas. I just chose an area that was interesting and shot a sequence of frames. Can anyone help me to ID these features? Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - I flipped the image over to better match reality (I think)

Crappy Pic of a Huge Buck

Posted By Tyler Allred
I spotted this mule deer buck today, bedded down on the hillside. The light was failing, and it was probably nearly a mile away, but I took a few frames with the spotting scope anyway. Here is a native res crop from a noisy original. The light was low, so I set the ISO to 1250... thus, the grainy texture. This is truly a magnificent animal.

Another Lunar Shot - No ID

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi again all,
I did a little processing of some avi's I shot last week, and here is one finished frame. I spent some time with the Lunar Atlas but still couldn't ID anything in the frame. It should be easy because it is so close to the limb, but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help ID this shot? Suggestions and comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Mallard in Flight

Posted By Tyler Allred
I came upon a group of wild mallards today and managed a pretty good frame as this bird took flight.

Theophilus and Cyrillus

Posted By Tyler Allred
I was searching through some AVI's that I shot on the 2nd of October and found this one. Somehow, I missed processing it when it was taken, but I processed it tonight. I think it turned out OK. Suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Posidonius

Posted By Tyler Allred
I tried to get out tonight, but as soon as I got set up, the clouds rolled in. I didn't even get a single frame! :C Out of desperation, I pulled out a few older AVI's and tried reprocessing them. Here is a reprocessed version of Posidonius that is much better than my previous effort IMHO. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
Cheers,
Tyler
