Mucking about in Cak 17th May

Post by TheHubby »

I did the usual imaging in the shadow of Alexandra this morning.

I think my focus is a bit off as I can't complain about the seeing and I tried the two methods of sharpening.

The prom was a different matter having taken 4 images and tried to merge them. The result looks ok, but not quite up to the regular contributor's standards.

Fun stuff.

Superb Darren. You are getting to be quite a sensation with your calcium images around here. I have seen your work progress in big steps, and sooner than you think Alexandra will be asking YOU for imaging advice!
