Equipment

Each frame using the new DMK21AU618.AS camera, Astronomik type II Luminance filter, aprox 900 frames for each of the 4 pictures, Registax 6, Imerge and Photoshop using a Celestron 11 SCT with CGEM mount, Rigel Systems motorized focuser on GSO Crayford.

Description

This is something I thought I would never attempt. My scope is effectively working above 9700mm focal length therefore I tried to shoot Clavius in a single frame and it did not fit. I decided to go ahead and see what would happen with more shots to build a mosaic and include part of the surrounding area even though the seeing was not good. This is the result. A pretty BIG image of Clavius made with 4 frames.

Equipment

Celestron C11 f/10 SCT OTA + Orion Atlas GEM mount Camera: Meade DSI camera. Meade 2x Apochromatic Barlow lens placed before the star diagonal to yield higher magnification. Meade Wratten #80A (blue filter). The image was heavily cropped and rotated, 1.5x enlarged and is uncalibrated (no flats, no darks, no flat darks, no bias). Dusts specs dissapeared in the stacking proccess. Also, is horizontally inversed due to the use of a star diagonal.

Description

Sometimes, favorable librations make this lunar vistas truly photogenic! 111 TIFF frames stacked and wavelet processed in Registax 6. Levels adjusted, mild gaussian blur and slight unsharp mask applied in Photoshop CS3. Moon was near the zenith.

When I imaged the sun today, I saw this nice filament close to active region 1283, extending accross the eastern limb, so decided to take a close up and proces the image in inverted light. By doing this the structure of the "fila-prom" shows very nicely
