This may sound silly, but.... I was looking at my VMA recently and advancing it one day at a time for the same hour and I noticed that the amount of...
That's really a beautiful view. I don't see that the noise really hurt you much here, at least as relates o the final result. Tony ... From: Wes Higgins To:...
Hi Tony, Thanks!, I agree the noise in the final result was controlled fairly well but as you well know it is a balancing act to get the sharpness up enough...
Hi Andrew, I'll have a stab at this but you might get a more definitive answer from someone who actually knows... Perhaps what you are noticing is the apparent...
Lovely image Wes, impressive result for only 74 frames and no obvious sign of any compromise in the processing. Regards, Stefan ... From: Wes Higgins To:...
Hi Stefan, Thanks!, I'm guessing you will be on the dawn lunar patrol in the next few months I look forward to seeing some images from you. Wes ... obvious...
Hi Andrew, It is a thing called perspective. As you look closer to the limb, the Moon appears more and more compressed. The terminator is moving at (more or...
Yes, the LPOD of august the first (orbital Earthshine photography of the Mare Orientale region) started an exploration into Apollo 17's Nikon magazines, which...
Yep, I'll be there ;o) and I'm looking forwards to trying out a new blue filter when and if the seeing allows. Regards, Stefan ... From: Wes Higgins To:...
Quite interesting photograph! Weird shadows indeed! It must have been a very unusual experience to observe these regions in this strange and somewhat bluish...
Dear Stefan, Hmmmm.... an interesting idea. What you are describing sounds like a visual version of the doppler effect. In this case its been reproduced within...
Andrew, Nope, what I was describing is not the doppler effect, simply how the apparent movement of the terminator appears to increase at 1st quarter because it...
Andrew, Although the moon's orbit is somewhat elliptical, it is nowhere nearly enough so as to produce the differences in apparent terminator travel that VMA...
This is an image of the Bailly/Hausen area taken during the last waning crescent. There was literally only enough time for 1 AVI before it got too light to...
Bob, I have two CRT monitors and for a long time they displayed images quite differently, one was much darker than the other despite being turned right up....
Stefan, Okay so if I understand you correctly, when one looks at a sphere dead on the coordinates on the sphere appear to be stretched as it approaches the...
Bob, It is interesting that there appear to be other possible explainations but they don't hold against the perspective one. It is just very interesting that...
Peter, I can see a proper greyscale on both my CRT and LCD monitors, and both have been calibrated with a hardware profiler (although with the LCD my profiler...
Hi Bob, Excellent image, on my LCD monitor (ViewSonic VP2130b 1000 to 1 contrast ratio) your LCD image looks a little to dark and the CRT image looks just...
Hi Bob, I had the same impression as Wes viewing from my laptop LCD - though both handle the tones beautifully, the LCD version seems a tad dark overall. When...
Hi Wes, thanks much. That's excellent input re your LCD monitor, because I know what your images look like on my CRT and they look just fine. Maybe I just...
Alan, Thank you.. Excellent input - I know your images too and they also look just fine on my CRT. So it sounds like my LCD might have the brightness set too...
Why does it appear to speed up or slow down? Yes, I see it too. You have both latitude and longitude to contend with. Also, VMA takes a flat retangular map and...
I have had a related problem - when I prepare an image using Photoshop it looks great, but when it is displayed on LPOD it commonly is too bright. I suppose...
Very nice view Bob and the lighting is also good for the Schiller - Zuchius Basin at the bottom which shows the subtle double ring nicely. Interesting to see...
