| This
evening I was not able to set the camera to 640x480. It got
stuck everytime I tried. Because of the smaller Image scale
focusing was more difficult. I am perplexed by the yellow
(left) and blue (right) colored fringes of the image. Any
explanations are welcome!

| In
a direct comparison between the Coolpix and the Vesta, the
WebCam delivered higher quality. I extracted the frames as
BMPs selected the sharpest images, cropped, adjusted the levels,
sharpened the images in Photoshop and then stacked (averaged)
them in AstroStack. I used an unsharp mask with a setting
of 10. The seeing was quite bad.

is the first time I used my bracket for the cable-release.
During transport the telescope lost the collimation, and I
didn´t get it right on location ...leaves some room
for improvement.

and owned by Alois Ortner.

post
scriptum:
4. May 2001, This new pictures were produced from the same
source-images like the pictures below, but I have used the
free AstroStack
software process the images. I averaged several frames, applied
an unsharp mask and a Lucy-Richardson Deconvolution to get
these results. I am quite impressed with this piece of software
by Robert J. Stekelenburg
and recommend AstroStack very much! |

| These
images were made holding a Nikon Coolpix 950 Digital camera
against the eyepiece of my 5,1" Newton telescope. I used
a 20mm eyepiece and a barlow lens.
For each image
I used several frames and applied Unsharp masking to the
brightness channel in Lab mode.
|
My
first attempt at planetary imaging
with a digital camera.
Interesting is the improvement of the
images through the use of the AstroStack software. |
