AstroHobbyman Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Next time I will take a extra video just in case! It was very windy and I thought it was covered prevously a few weeks ago I did a single one minute cell phone video of the full moon in 4k res with 27mm eyepiece a focal and it was not bad, this time recorded with a 2.25x Barlow added at 720 resolution which I now think was too low. Going for 4 videos at 1080 res next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice is a brilliant program. I always use it myself. If it helps try this. Take each panel and crop all the edges to remove any artifacts off the image. Then put the panels into ice. It will stich them better without any join lines. AstroHobbyman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroHobbyman Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Ta for the tip Graham , Just making baby steps and open to ideas. I'm uploading the Moon to Google drive by the way of a few 1080 and 4k videos with plenty of overlap! Ended the session with a little 'goto' to the Hyades cluster stars looked very sharp maybe it was the good seeing and the glare of the moon making them smaller!

Guest Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I had an oval moon tonight. I tried Registax on my turbo-charged fuel-injected company computer but it could not handle such large files! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Phil try this first https://sites.google.com/site/astropipp/ then with a few good frames left and a lot of waiting Registax mostly comes good in the end. This is my latest processing effort from Thursday night. http://www.astrobin.com/234093/ tap the x button in the top right to enjoy fully Edited December 26, 2015 by AstroHobbyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
