EARLY CAPTURES 6-6-2021

Post by EGRAY_OBSERVATORY »

After no sleep - the skies allowed some poor seeing, with some captures quickly processed.

Thank you Dave S., Franco and Mark T..

I think they are not particularly good, as was very tired and didn't want to go through the AVI files after a very long day and night, but after the F! race this evening and a Chinese take-away, I will likely process those and produce something better - hopefully...

Also I must adjust the three cameras to get the same azimuth for all three together, so just another chore...

CLEAR SKIES

Great images Terry :bow :hamster:

Are these stacked and not sharpened? or single frames? or seems that focus isn't quite as a good as it could be. Definitely more sleep would do, I don't know how you do night and daytime observing :bow:

Thanks you Alexandra.
My service history both in the RAF and with our Fire Service etc., have taught me to work through days and nights with minimal-sleep, but it does come to a point when the eyes alone, tell me when to stop and rest.

I can't be certain to what processing was done on that early-morning, but the seeing was largely to blame with the hazy-layer and low-down Sun not helping to get the best captures...

The improved and previously experimental method of trying-out the combined imagery (as in the separate post), does contain stacked imagery of between 100 and 500 frames, albeit no iMPPG was used, which should have been...

Your previous suggestion of making sure the two items are the same size before combining, of course was correct and with the two Lunt 60mm scopes with their ASI-178MM cameras is not difficult, but using the white-light ED80T-CF and a a GPCAM does make it more difficult, but still more work to be undertaken whilst awaiting a replacement scope to replace the ED80... I've also got two other cameras to try-out too..

Cheers
Terry
