I see. It's a good technique to show "fast happenings" in the universe, such as: a spinning pulsar (the one which was seen in Carl Sagan's COSMOS), or the ...
Thanks Bart! I've been extremely happy with my scope, I guess whoever figured the optics must have had a good day:) Thanks, Ed ... eke out ... the first ... ...
Thank you Chris. As Alan explained, some of us imagers are used to using shorthand when giving info on equipment and image capture and processing. It's used...
Thank you Stefan, I'm glad to be back! I hope this Autumn is a great one for all of us. Thanks, Ed ... dramatic image with great processing and detail for an...
The so-called "Full Moon" on our tear-off calendar is, of course, not the REAL Full Moon. I wonder if there are online photographs of REAL Full Moons observed...
Yes, I did spot the smilely. I understand that Joe has a wildly wicked sense of humour, along the lines of John Lennon. They both have a way of phrasing things...
Another lovely shot Bob. The improvement is subtle but the extra sampling with the slightly better seeing has made a difference, and I like the composition. ...
Hi Stefan, thanks much. Can I ask what resolution you are using on your monitor? I posted this image at 1x size which fills the screen on my CRT at 1024x768,...
Hi Achille, thank you very much! The increased sampling helped a lot with the details. Ciao Bob ... From: Achille Giordano To: lunar-observing@yahoogroups.com ...
... Danny, If you mean a photo from the exact point of alignment of the Sun and Moon, and also from the distance of the Earth's orbit, but without any...
Exploring other examples of the Pulfrich effect: - Earthshine and shaky telescopes. Observing both the moon's sunlit crescent and the nocturnal earthlit part ...
This curious optical phenomenon called Irradiation is mentioned on pages 127 and 128 of M.G.J.Minnaert's -Light and Color in the Outdoors- It seems as if the...
A very nice comparison Bob. I do enjoy the increased sampling I get from my DMK 41AF02 over my 21AF04, it does make a difference. Regards, Ed Roach ... taken...
Bob, I have my 17" CRT at 1280x1024 and the 14" LCD on the laptop is 1280x800, so they both have roughly the same resolution/ ppi. Its an interesting point....
I don't know whether this will help the discussion or not but my first ever attempts to get a picture of the Moon at each day of the lunar month was done...
Hi Stefan, Thanks very much for the input. My CRT is a 19" (run at 1024 x 768) and LCD is a 20" widescreen (run at native 1680 x 1050) so definitely you are...
Ed, thanks. Yep, I've seen the light :) - higher sampling pays dividends. Regards, Bob ... From: Edward Roach To: lunar-observing@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi Bob, I'm more than a bit surprised you are running a 19" at such a low resolution, what do you find are the benefits? Your images at your end will look even...
... Peter, I think you may be recalling the difference in exposures between a Full Moon and a thin crescent. Here is a very rough exposure guide based not on...
Hi Stefan, It's just a matter of readability for me as to why I use 1024x768 on my 19" CRT. I don't have the best eyes in the world, and it just helps seeing...
Thanks for that, Jim. I admit I was working from memory (increasingly unreliable as I get older!) and I am quite sure that the more crescent Moons were ...
... Danny, The observation that the bright crescent Moon appears to our eyes to have a larger diameter than the dark part is a rather commonplace observation...
Experiment: Determine state of mind of the remaining Apollo astronauts with the Five Axis Diagnosis method. Are they insane, or encountered mental issues after...
Bob, ... It might look different but it still looks great! :o) ... Smaller than intended maybe but bijoux! And no smaller than any other images from the same...
Hi all Just two classic images of the lunar surface. Posidonius is a crater very interesting to test the resolution reached by the instrument. Solving the many...
