My first Lunar Mosaic
The mosaic in the link below was created from 52 images using the Meade LPI
and my 10" LX200GPS. Each of the 52 images is made up of 30 individual stacked frames for a total of 1560 frames. It took approx I hour to capture the images and about 4 minutes to create the mosaic. (The small black "monolith" in the upper right is a missed over-lapped frame. This was my fault not the Autostitch software.) This is my first ever attempt at a "astro-image mosaic". Even though I missed a section by not over lapping a couple of the individual images enough, overall I am happy with the image. I am going to try again during the full moon. http://www.jatobservatory.org/Galler...pano_Moon.html -JATO http://jatobservatory.org |

As a thought, I'd be very interested i what you got if you combined images taken along the terminator over the course of a month. I doubt you would be able to stitch them in 4 minutes, but the extra work might be worth the contract details you could potentially obtain. Just a thought. JH |

Beautiful shot! Much more like the view through an eyepiece.

Fill in the black rectangle with Photoshop's "Clone" tool. Who's to know? True but then why bother in the first place? Easier to just download any number of existing hi-res images and just resize/re-label as your own. However, if you don't plan to go out again, I would go and get an existing image and transplant the missing piece. In any case, the mosaic is excellent and I hope to do the same in the near future.

Thanks Chuck,
You know I never thought about it until you mentioned it, but it is kind of like looking through an eyepiece . -JATO On Wed, 20 Apr 2005 09:35:07 -0700, "CLT" wrote: Beautiful shot!

I find the moon most generaly pleasing to observe a day or two after first quarter since most of the major sites are well lit (Plato, Tycho, Clavius, Copernicus, the Carpathians, Sinus Iridum, etc.). -Drew |

I just hope the monolith doesn't start multiplying. I like viewing the Moon almost anytime. I want to try another mosaic but clouds are rolling in and it is suppose to rain for the next few days. -JATO http://jatobservatory.org |
