2665 Farewell Animation - CPC925 w Quark - July 17, 2017

Post by nickatnight »

Took this AR all the way to the trees. Seeing wasn't very good, but I'll take what I can get with these limb shots. This is 207 frames, reduced 50 percent, from captures between 11AM and 1:16PM PST. Captured 200 frames every 40 seconds with AutoRun in FireCapture. Shot with CPC925 with Aries DERF and 3x Baader telecentric, Combo Quark and ASI174MM camera. Processed with AS!3, AstraImage, Photoshop, DVS and PIPP. Comments and suggestions welcome.

And a bonus shot I captured with 1000 frames just before trees...glad I did.

Hello Nick.
The Ani is good, unfortunately the Seeing did not fit.
Your images are too sharpened for my feeling.

Thanks all. Next time in such seeing I will throw on a focal reducer. I just got a .5x c-mount reducer so now I have .63x and .5x to use with this setup when seeing is not so great.

I agree, Jozef, regarding the sharpening. I appreciate you giving your honest opinion. Over sharpening is one of my downfalls, and I'm finding it a hard habit to break. Although as my captures are improving in sharpens and detail, I do find I'm less prone to over sharpen.
