Hi Wes, I use Noiseware Community Edition for noise reduction. It seems to do the job without introducing any artifacts at all. Because I over-sample my AVIs...
Thanks for the info Zac, I had no idea those features were domes. I'll have to image that area more often at different sun angles to get a better feel for...
Here's the next image from the series taken on 7-27 with the Atik 2HS and 6" F/8. It's a mosaic of 2 frames from 200 frame stacks. The albedo effects are...
Wes, There must be a HI-RES image of Guericke's "Mr.Peanut" in the collection of Apollo-16's ITEK-photographs (the orbital PANORAMIC images). Unfortunately,...
This orange-ish spot is also described in NASA's book APOLLO-16 PRELIMINARY SCIENCE REPORT (the orbiting astronauts observed a brownish-tan hue on the southern...
Why is it called "Hesiodus-A"? Why isn't there a proper name for it? It's one of the most interesting and most beautiful concentric craters on the near side of...
Hi Danny, Good question I agree that is should have proper name. Thanks, Wes Higgins ... it? It's ... on the ... concentric ... A"... ... craters, ... quite...
Danny - Hesiodus A is a proper name! It has been designated that way for many decades (I don't have my reference books here yet - maybe 175 years), so use of ...
Here's image number 4 from the session on 7/27. Atik 2HS on my 6" F/8, single frame, stack 200. http://www.digital-flight.com/thebigeye/7-27-05%20image-4.jpg ...
... Very good detail there, Tony. But what causes the strange "wrinkle-like" artifacts visible in the mare surface and the interior of Plato? Dave -- ...
Sir, A question: What if the "path" of Apollo-16's Command/Service Module (CSM) was a little bit more to the south, and the orbiting astronauts would have made...
Those artifacts are from the deconvolution and wavelet steps. I reduce them to a large degree with noise reduction but I can't eliminate them completely in...
Hi, Tony. ... Sorry to disagree (in as friendly a way as possible ;-), but they are quite clear on my monitor, no zooming necessary. Maybe it's a monitor...
Danny - No, there wouldn't necessarily have been a new name. Official renaming only occurred where LTOs were made and there was no named crater in the area....
My wife has a 19" LCD so I'll take a look at it on there. Actually it is an interesting question that I haven't considered before. I had just assumed that...
Sir, thanks for the info. BTW; You wrote: -Many of the people on the International Astronomical Union lunar nomenclature committee that made the errors in the...
Mmmmm... I want to detect an ITEK-panoramic image of Humboldt and its concentric crater. I have explored all of A15's and A17's ITEK-images on the L.P.I.'s...
Ah Hah!!! Attention dear folks!!! I have detected a series of VERY important FAIRCHILD-mapping/metric photographs of Humboldt and its concentric crater! These...
Talking about extraordinary orbital lunar photographs! I am exploring the Fairchild-photographs of Apollo-15's Revolution 35, and I can't keep my eyes off of...
Hi Folks Can I also offer a "pan" I made from A15 Hasselblads for the Apollo 15 Flight Journal: http://history.nasa.gov/ap15fj/photos/p/humboldt.jpg The lovely...
Thanks David! That's a great pan! Imagine a "promenade" (LEVA) on the outer and inner rings of that concentric crater, and also at the bottom of the curved...
Tony, Do you want a guide full of lunar test-objects for webcammers? (small formations around -or less than- one kilometer). Or a guide of unusual surface...
Next time i look at Aristillus...i'll look for the RB2N-GC[the Ron Bee NoName Ghost Crater]with 130mm newt i've never seen anything there, y'know Ron- you...
