Hey guys,

This recent rash of good weather has been put to good use.  Here's a couple of pics I've taken (Waning Crescent moon, Jupiter), and also one I took back in March (Saturn) which I've reprocessed using techniques I've learned over the last few months.  Let me know what you think.

Tiny: I know, I know.   My youngest daughter's 9 month ailment seems to be drawing to an end so I think I'll finally have some free time.

... and here's the moon pic.  This is the result of sifting over 900 different frames, choosing the proper ones and creating a mosaic from the final 33 best frames.  There was actually over 1800 pics taken, one for the lum data, one for the color.  This is my first moon picture that I've processed in color as I've learned some processing techniques which make it a possibility.

The attached pic is 1152 x 864. The full resolution pic is 3200 x 2400. if you ever want to see how it looks, send me a PM with your email address and I'll forward it to you.

Yup, I figure it puts some context as to Jupiter's size.  I think I posted this one before but in case you missed it, here it is again:  Jupiter with a moon's shadow transitioning across its disc. My pic (lousy quality) is on the left, the pic on the right is a simulation to show where the shadow and moon should be. As you can see, I matched perfectly .  This was done years ago, I can do much better now, looking forward to trying to take more pics of the giant planet this week.
