A new page on indoor imaging



Since downsizing, this is the first time I did indoor imaging. The setup is simple, LXD55 with C5.

The first test is C5 at prime focus using DMK 31AF03, on the moon:



Since autostitch accepts JPG only, so the image quality is less than ideal, quite a lot of noise and useful information are removed by the lossy compression and that prevents any further processing. I shall investigate another way to do the mosaic work. For full size:

Another way to do mosaic, purely by PS, but since I'm very cheap in operating it, the result is terrible:



The second test is 2x barlows on moon, poor seeing means, oops:



The third test is C5 on Jupiter, however, seeing was too bad that Jupiter has some random hair, so didn't get any AVI.
