+Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi folks. Tonight the moon was sooooo bright it made ds imaging impossible, so I decided to put together this 36 frame mosaic of the moon. Taken with my 200mm newt and a phillips 900 webcam. 36 one thousand frame AVIs. Best 95% of each AVI stacked in Registax 5. Mosaic put together in microsoft ICE. Hope you like.

oldfruit Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thats great and probably required a lot of patience on your part. Nice capture and especially like the rays coming from Tycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I must admit it has got to be the best mosaic I have done so far. The original mosaic photo is huge and you can zoom right into the creaters. Thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi all. I have just had a play with this in Picassa. Seemed to have improved the contrast a bit. Thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Amazing work there Grahram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I don't know about amazing Mick but it was good fun doing it. Might have another go tonight with the 5X barlow in as well. If that works it should be pretty spectacular. Mind hoping for 2 clear nights in a row might be pushing it a bit. Lol thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nice one, looks familiar. My mosaic was showing joins but I've now sorted it (just can't post it at the moment). If you open each stacked pane you will see white or black edges, if you crop these off then re-stitch it will be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fluke Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 My first attempt at a mosaic ended in fairly because I didnt get enough of the middle portion, doh! Great fun trying to put it altogether though - best jigsaw ever lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Andy you are a star. I hate those joins but I just thought I was stuck with them. I will do as you suggest and crop the images. nice one. Thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well Andy I have redone the Mosaic using your suggestion and it works brilliantly. All the joins have dissapeared. Many thanks Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Many thanks for al the kind words. With the new knowlage gained from Andy I can now get started on an even larger one. Oh the pain. It is nice to have a lunar image which is so zoomable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I am going to do another one at the next full moon given the chance with the clouds. This time I am going to use the 5x barlow. I recon it is going to be around the 100 panels mark. Should be interesting. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
