The Moon 19. April 2005. Clearly my best mosaic to date. Imaged with C8 @ f10 barlow, IRB and green filter and ToUcam 740K, 10fps. 68 patches were needed to cover the disk of the Moon. Capture was with K3CCDTools2, using around 250 frames per patch. Stacking with Registax3. Mosaic using AutoStitch (fully automatic !!) Even more detail can be seen in 50% size version and 100% size version. | |||

This is a very special image. It is a stereo image of Copernicus!! It is a so called anaglyphic image.
You need to view the image with a red filter covering the left eye, and a blue filter covering the right
eye. Then you will experience the height of the crater mountains!!
This image was made possible, because I discovered that Roger Hill of Toronto, Canada had imaged Copernicus with a C8 and a Vesta webcam on May 21, just like me!! Our large separation creates a parallax effect, allowing the stereo image to be constructed. The red component is my image, the blue component is his image. I am not aware of any amateur image like this. In fact, it may be a world #1. If you have any knowledge of this being done before, please contact me. | |||
