Title: Moonwatch 2nd April
Post by: jgs001 on April 03, 2009, 03:20:25 pm
I had some fun last night, mounting the Skymax on the HEQ5

SPC900 (these are my first attempts at this scale of mosaic). Each avi is about 1000 frames stacked in regi5

A Terminator Mosaic (9 panes)

A not quite whole mosaic (18 panes)

A Mosaic with the 450d and a Kenko 2xTC

A close up of Albeteginus with the SPC900 and an Ultima x2 barlow (something isn't quite right here...)

Hi John,

Very nice image the two Mosaic are great. The last image look like a few misaligned images

Thanks guys. Carl, I've had numerous attempts on that last one, but still no luck... Gonna try again another time.
