Well beyond diffraction limit?

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Joseph,

If not for your exuberance for an image that is so obliviously over processed I would normally not comment on an image like this.
With no disrespect meant for you or the person who took the image this IMO is one of the most over processed images of Mars I have seen in a long time, I think most people that frequent here know that I very seldom say anything negitive about an image and I at first hesitated to say anything about this image.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi all.
As a visual observer who greatly enjoys watching the incredible strides you guys are making, I ask for reactions to the following image:
http://www.buytelescopes.com/gallery/view_photo.asp?pid=7570
It seems that the theoretical resolution limit is being significantly exceeded.
As someone who knows nothing about CCD imaging, I pose what is perhaps a silly question:
Is it possible for the expectations of the imager (based on what they know about the actual details of the target) to somehow be inadvertantly "processed" into the final image.
Joe
Please note, I am in no way challenging integrity here. My question only addresses methodology.

Hi Alan,

Great! job, I look forward to seeing the finished product.
I just noticed that your August 2005 Plato and my August 2005 Plato are very close to the same lighting conditions, we must have taken them close to the same time.

Thanks,

Plato

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Johannes,

Every now and then an image comes along that makes me say WOW out loud and this one certainly did, I think what is most striking is the large image size (1024x766) with excellent resolution and crispness across the entire frame.
The over all sharpness of this wide field image is outstanding and the processing is perfect, thanks for posting this great image.
