Plato & Alpine valley - 21st & 22nd May 2010

One of my favourite areas... as if you haven't guessed by now!

Long Plato shadows.

From the 25th Nov 2009 session.

Clavius & Plato 11th Sept 2009

Here's one from last night. The seeing was really good when I started :-) But the transparency deteriorated quickly later :-( So I had to push the camera and picked a load of grain in the process & processing ;-(

First image of session.
Plato; using 3 x TV barlow, with the good seeing.

The seeing was all over the place tonight, but it's amazing what these stacking programs can do. This is AviStack again.
3 x TV barlow, DMK etc. Sharpened in Registax. Mosaiced, levelled, re-sharpened and noise reduced in CS3.

Plato & Alpine Valley re-processed in Photoshop CS3

...and Registax, of course.
