Antares_Paul Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Took advantage of a small gap in the clouds to cobble together my first moon mosaic. 5 pane stitch 5 x 200 frames. Starwave ED80/IMG132E. I've just seen the option for debayering in Registax 5 so will try RAW images next clear sky. Had a play and all seems straight-forward. Trial image (chimney pot half a mile away lol) seem better using the GR debayer method. Dark sky may change that. Blue fringing hasn't been a problem on the couple of runs I have had with colour imaging. That said - my inexperienced eye sees only what it wants to see Thanks for the comments. Regards.

Antares_Paul Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 M.I.C.E Graham. Just remember to crop away any rubbish from the borders of each pane before stitching. Nothing easier Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_Paul Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Fantastic! Would an image like that stand being enlarged to a wall poster? All the image hosting sites I've used seem to scale the images down to a file size of 1 meg. I can post a 96 dpi tif image for you to upscale? I can't find an option to save the mosaic @ 300 dpi in M.I.C.E Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antares_Paul Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) You won't be disappointed Tom. You'll be hard pressed to find anything of the build quality and performance at this price. I'm only selling my Starwave ED80 due to an upgrade - I would happily keep it. If anyone here wants it PM me before I advertise it. £235 with reducer collected. Will deliver for fuel 100 mile radius of YO8 or meet halfway etc. Regards. Edited July 6, 2012 by Paul Laws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
