ASTRO: High contrast moon
Yep, still around ;-) Lot of leeching though, seeing all those great
photographs!! :-) For my scope nothing much to see/photograph last fe months: moon is too low as are the planets and in wrong part of the sky for me. So did a remake from my best shot(s) so far: the 26 part moon mosaic from 24 May this year. This time enhancing contrast, some color and some little other things on each shot and stiched them together. Goal was to enhance detail. Bynostar 130-900 Newton, 25 mm eyepiece, FujiFilm S5500 hybride camera. 26 x RAW, ISO64, 1/8 sec, f/3.1. RAW processing in Photoshop, mosaic made with AutoStitch. -- Menno ===================== My 3D Art can be seen on http://www.3dart4u.com http://tinyurl.com/c8g96 (3DCommune) http://brycetest.3dart4u.com (Bryce Speed Test) ===================== Remove nospam in mail address when mailing me |

That is one sharp image. The mountains are 3-D.

Well done controlling the wide range of brightness from terminator to limb and still maintaining good contrast. I can't recall now what software you use to make the mosaics. It does a very good job of hiding the seams and matching the contrast and levels of the various images. Or do you do that by hand? I can't do it by hand for two images, let alone 24!

Rick Yes, that was my goal indeed to get that overall view and contrast :-) And no, not by hand. I use a free program called AutoStitch for it. Info and download on http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html And yes, it does a great job. In this case it stitched together 26 JPG images of 1.3 Mb each ... the whole proces took around 7 minutes on my system. Menno |

In this case it stitched together 26 JPG images of 1.3 Mb each ... the whole proces took around 7 minutes on my system. Menno I need more sleep. I see you mentioned Autostitch in the original post and I missed it. I can't tell from the pay version websites if they support 16 bit TIFF or only 8. 16 would be preferable. Free version doesn't support TIFF at all. Though for putting together some JPGs from our trip to Canada this summer it will sure help. No matter that I set the camera for fixed exposure it still shows seams where the sky color doesn't match. This should fix that problem. Now to find the time! This computer is 5 years old so a snail by today's standards. But I won't be stitching that many frames so it should survive. Most of my image processing is done on the observatory laptop which is 4 times faster than this machine but again, nearly 2 years old so a bit slow by today's standards.
