Lunar eclipse sequence montage(s)

[Carole]

I did a montage of all the data I captured, most were 5 - 10 subs stacked so it took ages in Registax, but the first 3 were only single subs.



I then thought this would be more interesting by leaving out alternate images.



Now to try out an animation

Ha Ha , this is what I have been doing all afternoon, Carole. I think I have too many Moons on show at the moment!! Bit of a palavar

I really like the layout of the second one, really nicely done.

[Carole]

Thanks every-one, boy it has been a marathon over 2 1/2 days to stack all the individual phases and then process it all,

this is what I have been doing all afternoon, Carole. I think I have too many Moons

I see you are in the same boat Fay. 

Still going to try to do an animation, but will take quite a bit of work as I couldn't guide because my guide scope was washed out with the Moon, so there is drift over the course of the capture.

Hi Carole, the way I sorted the drift was to use PIPP to dark subtract, flatfield, convert, centre, rotate and crop the Moon so CR2s became TIFs for Registax. It's a bit of a learning curve if you have never come across PIPP but is logical in it's workflow and dead good. And fast. I might see if I can use it for the animation as it can do that to.

[Carole]

Thanks for the tip Duncan, sounds good but also sounds like a bit of a learning curve.  I'll take a look at it.

That's beautiful Carole and very nicely presented.  Shame it's too late for next year's calendar.

Thanks Mark.

Shame it's too late for next year's calendar.

Lol, it can be considered for the following year as we discussed along with your Elephant Trunk nebula at the meeting.
