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
