Yes I do Lunar sometimes

#1

Post by UlteriorModem »


A couple of frames from a couple of nights ago.

I think I forgot more than I ever knew about processing Lunar .avi but these aren't too bad.

Conditions were very difficult. The seeing looked like I was peering through cooking oil warming in a skillet :P May have missed the focus just a touch.

Nice images, I know how you feel in the seeing, checking if I'm in focus, is there dew on the elements?, am I collimated! I forget how much seeing effects the moon.

Those are pretty good for shooting through a screen of cooking oil!

Yea the quality curve in Autostakkert was really steep. Maybe 2-5% of the frames 'useable'.

Never have seen it that bad.

Got a couple more to process but I did those above late last night and ran outa gas.
