1958 1959

A couple of attempt's at the big'un. The are both through the 9", with the DMK, first one @ prime, the second one with a 2.5x powermate. The seeing about a 7. Looked great through the eyepiece.

Stacked w/registax4, tweaked in photoshop, using levels, color adjust, gaussian sharpening, b&c, saved for da web.

When it rises a little earlier, I'll try again with the ed100, kind've do a little comparison.

Comment's, quip's and querries welcome.:biggrin:

Nice effort mate. I'm still working my way through all the planetary stuff, so I can't really offer you any advice. :frown:

Though I don't think the ED100 would come anywhere near what the 9 inch is producing.

What kind of elevation were these taken at?

Cheers

Ray

I was capturing at about 15-20 degrees above the horizon, 3hrs before the meridian, (1am) just 45 min. ahead of the moon.

Just remember, take lots of frames w/different settings, focus, focus, focus and...It's fun :biggrin:
