Hi Alan,
Nice shot. It makes me eager for ver. 4 but then again I know this image is from you and
part of me knows you're taking it beyond my capability :)
I never looked at Schiller closely before, but it appears to be two craters joined (and
flooded) together creating the potato shape, doesn't it? Maybe that's already known, but
then again self discovery is good too.
Thanks for sharing and keep'em coming.
Duane

Hi all -
The holiday weekend gave me a chance to finish an image of Schiller
captured during an October 4 session:
http://www.avertedimagination.com/img_pages/schiller_100407.html
This image was prepared with the Alpha version of Astro IIDC 4.0
which continues to evolve into a very powerful platform for planetary
image processing on the Mac platform. Approximately 180 frames were
selected (using separate frame sets for each quadrant of the image)
and stacked using multiple alignment points. The stacks were
sharpened in Astro IIDC with final assembly and processing in Adobe
Photoshop CS3.
Taken with my 10" mak/cassegrain and DMK 41AF02 camera with a green
filter.
best regards,
Alan
