4.用高压拍录软件,得到高压缩后的AVI,再把AVI转换一些高清的档案格式,比如DVD,Mpec,APPLE TV 等等,然后用高清播放器软件直接在动画中扑捉 JPG照片,那样便有可能直接地可以得到高清的照片,而并不用任何叠加处理,当然也可以再叠加。目前这只是构思。
其实理想放大是200倍起码的,但那是MIZAR镜没法做到的了,只能看日后的ORION 6" 牛反了,但该镜是计划半年后才会用的。因此现在只能那样,但以上的更新动作,也要同时考虑到日后Orion镜的配套上来。作者: mandii 时间: 2010-6-29 09:14
今晚想了一个最简单又可靠的方法就是把web cam 固定到DC万能架上,那样便可以插得上1.25"和0.965"的目镜座或者Barlow 上了。
现在都完全准备好了,就等好天月亮出来。

It's long time no take an astro picture ,
cause recently not always stay at home .
Tonight , I come to take a picture of Archimedes .
I pick up the moon map , nevigate the moon surface for nearly 15 minutes . And center the eyepiece after I can locate the Archimedes . Then use web cam to shoot it . Finally make the picture by Registax software .

Last night the moon was very bright , actually not a good time to take a image ,atmosphere was not stable as well .
This time I tried my new bought 1.25" 2X barlow together with the web cam . Previously I had failed to capture a good 3X barlow image , cause too big magnification for my 4" telescope and blur the image indeed . But this time with 2X barlow , the image is still acceptable . I am satisfield with this cheap price Barlow very much .
This time the target is the "比利牛斯" mountain chain , the BillyNews mountain chain . You can also see some nearby crators , and such magnification is just enough for me , compared with those taken previously without the barlow
Finally , this time I write my report on the next day of observation night . So that I can have plenty of time to prepare a better image . Before I didn't pay too much attention on the image processing indeed , cause I don't have much time to try on the night time . So,this morning I am free in office and try more on the software REGISTAX . I found it has good tools to make the image better and sharper . That's a good and neat software .

Dear Joe ,
I see . Thanks for your care
So the wind last night had passed and left .
I had found a chance to take a moon photo last night .
It's the Mare Imbrium , a large oceanic area on the moon .
You can check several apparent areas as well from the moon map I provided , I had bold it in Red blocks .
The FOV of this picture ( DSI plus 2X barlow ) this time is about 12" , according to the indication on the moon map software . Starting from now, I can use this software to physically measure the FOV of any telescope imaging system . And I can even measure the distance between two points on the moon directly . In the old time , I can only calculate ( i.e. estimate ) the FOV , but now I can measure it directly and PHYSICALLY with the help of the actual moon crators , this is very important to me .
I am not using a web cam this time indeed .
282 flames is collected in about 5 minutes from DSI .
Comparing to webcam , Just several second can be collected for such number of flames in a video format . The shorter the time , the less the requirement from the mount's tracking . So DSI surely can cause more shifting in image than the web cam . However , such image shifting can be recovered easily from any image-process software . And DSI is more sensitive than my ordinary web cam , ( even the price is more exspensive ) , thus , I may use DSI to take moon photo in future , and totally replace the use of a web cam . Because DSI is more generic in my situation .
The moon is rising up the hill , behind a tree .
This moment leaves silently and fastly .
The picture was shooted at 7:00p.m tonight , within less than 10 seconds time .
I focus on the tree , and let the moon become a blured background .

I am signed up with moonzoo but felt rather underwhelmed by what was on offer. Perhaps I need to give it another chance, especially if the weather is turning wet in Shropshire.
English version :
My next target is Rupa Recta .
There is a crack line on the moon map .
The moon map of Rupa Recta is prepared well right now , FOV around 12' , as shown .
So next time I need to find it out this target , and move it to centerof the FOV , and take image of it . It's totally different to what I did currently , currently I choose any object to shoot it , no target actually . So it will be much more challenging because I need to shoot the ONE and ONLY ONE target on my next time observation .
Let's see it , For the moment I am not sure my equipment can resolve the crack line of Rupa Recta .
作者: mandii 时间: 2011-3-18 09:15 US ASTRONOMY
carnevali : Yesterday, 01:01 PM from morehead, KY
Yeah, Rupes Recta is tough. It certainly requires a night of good seeing (low atmospheric turbulence), a terminator not too far from it, decent optics, and some magnification. It is pretty though, a worthy subject for an image. And if you get that later you can push your ability farther and try to catch the nearby Birt Rille (or Brit Rille?); now, that's a really tough one to get. I think you can see it in the map-photo to the right and below the crater to the right of Rupes Recta.
MANDII : Today, 01:59 AM
I see . . . Carnevali .
You mean the 2nd crack line , halfly shorter one on the right hand side of Rupes Recta.
Next time ! I will definitely try my all effort to find out this Rupes Recta , at first most difficlut is to find it out under eyepiece . And then next step is to shoot it down onto paper(ha ha !) . If next time failed ( most probably ,Ha ha ! ) , I will try one more next time .
About the camera :
My DSI-I plus 2X barlow can reach around 12' FOV , under my 6"/F5 Newtonian scope .
If I am using a web cam , it's already 12' FOV without using of 2x Barlow .
Thus , my current plan , is to try web cam first !
because I can have over 1000 flames within 30 seconds time if I am using an ordinary web cam .
But It takes me over 5 minutes time to get these 1000 flames if I am using the DSI-I .
The more faster to get all these images , the less loading on my mount tracking and thus affact image quality .

David Knisely : 04/12/11 04:00 PM from Beatrice, Nebraska
Hi there. Well, there are a couple of features with the Hadley name. First, there is Mount Hadley ("Mons Hadley", if you go with the Latin name). It is one of several tall mountains in the Apennine mountain (Montes Apennine) range. Not far from it in a small low flat spot is tiny Hadley rille itself (Rima Hadley), close to where the Apollo 15 lunar mission landed and then drove to in the Lunar Rover. The rille can be seen and imaged from the ground, although it takes pretty high power, a low sun angle, and good seeing to get a look at it. Clear skies to you.
MANDII : 04/13/11 11:56 AM
Thank you Sir , very informative .
So tonight once agian the Rupes Recta , there is a sharp crater in the center of the picture , about 2 cm rightward we can see 3 vertically located small craters , and there is a line passing through in between the first and 2nd small crater , so I guess that should be the one Rupes Recta is located .
You can compare the moon map I previously posted .
This was a very poor pic taken a few years ago by me.
The moon is a wonderful target. In the last week or so I took out my 18" for many times, not for saturn because it is almost the same everyday, but for the moon. Last thursday, just me and an ex-student were observing and we spent more than 2 hours just on the moon. (Of course, the moon looked stunning in 18" at around 540x with Ethos 3.7.)
It is a shame that many people don't apprecipate the moon but it is easy to see why. There are so many targets that can look very similar, and one easily get lost. A good place to start is Charles Wood's list of Lunar 100: http://www.astrospider.com/Lunar100list.htm
For those who have apple products, 'Moon Globe' is a wonderful app to download which is useful when using on the field. I frequently use it to demonstrate to my students what they are looking at and what they can pay particular attention to. Using this on iPad would be wonderful.

<<A New highway to go on moon observation>>
This is my new plan on the comming at least 4 years time to engoy the moon in a practical ,sophistical way . In my past two years of astro activity , the local weather is not really good enough for advance types of astro-observation . Advance observation seems to be a bit too ideal in sense in my situation .Looking at the real fact in front of me , I decided to go on a way that is more sophistic , and more long lasting observation activity . That is : To collect the moon scenic spots into pictures in my comming years . That would be most probably one of my way to fully use my telescope , and the most basic way to enjoy the astronomy , under bad weathers ,and under probably even more bad weathers in the comming years of time .
There is 100 good scenic spots on the ground of moon in database of Charles Wood's list of Lunar 100 Lunar 100 . This is a good database I had found a long time for .With the help of Charles database , plus my current moon map software , I can prepare the target location map before the observation night . Fix down the map FOV( normally 12" under my telescope & camera ) , the target position and image rotation before observation .And take a picture of the certain sopts by the same FOV , position and image rotation during the observation nights .
According my current moon observation situation , one months I got 1 or 2 moon pictures , so I can enjoy the astronomy by the Charles database for at least 50 months or 4 years of time .
The previous two completed planning objects were Straight wall/Rupes Recta and Villas Alpes .This is my third observation plan on moon .I give an index no. "Plan_03" to it , such that it can be linked together with it's actual observation report latter . From now on , I will plan the objects according to the charles wood lunar 100 , as I had said last month .
Description :
The type of CLAVIUS is a walled plain , according information . It's near to Tycho and on the upper side of it . And there is numerous craterlets on a such large flat floor , forming an arc chain . For me , this area is clean and clear , good place to have a visit there , let me try it !

Am spending more of my observing time on the moon. Have a 4inch APO and a 10 inch Dob with a good mirror. Would prefer to use only one of them as I study the moon so my view is consistent. Average seeing here limits magnification to about 175X. Seeking advice from experienced lunar observers on which one to use as my primary lunar scope. Thanks!
Jack
MANDII : 05/16/11 09:52 PM
I prefer 4" APO , sharp image of APO scope .
The big aperture is not really an important issue on a bright object such as moon. Instead , lens quality is the point . 2ndly, to me , to observe moon is to observe the each big and small craters , and some detail lanscape on the floor of the moon, you need to find it out among the different complex areas . The FUN is the time you navigate the ground on the moon and find a target area that you want to find it out . So you need to have a moon map as well . In finding the specific objects on the moon with the moon map , the difficulty is the image rotation angle is different to the map . For refractor , the image is fixed the angle of rotation( upside down , and east west flip ),ALL the time it's fixed regardless where your scope is pointed to . So that would becomes very easy and straight forward to find an target when you look at the map simutanousely . But with newtonion type scope such as the an DOB , it's very difficlut to check with a map together . The image is always rotated irregularly . Not only upside down and E/W Flipping , but also rotate to some angle which is depending the pointing direction of your scope . So Newtonion is the most difficlut and need the most skills to use with it .
Sarkikos : 05/16/11 10:21 PM from Maryland, USA
I enjoy observing the Moon with all sizes and sorts of scopes - Newts, refractors, MCTs - so that's not an issue for me. The orientation of the image is not much of an issue any more for me either, because I've found good lunar atlases for all the different types of scopes.
During the work week a small scope is more convenient. I like taking out my 90mm Mak for a quick Moon view, the 5" Newt if I have a little more time, the 8" Newt if I feel more energetic. I use the 10" on the weekends - if I want to allow the possibility for seeing more detail on the Moon or planets.
The brightness of the image is also not an issue. A bright object will not allow a smaller aperture to show finer detail than its aperture will allow. Only larger aperture will make finer detail possible.
There are several ways to compensate for the bright image of the Moon, if that is seen as a problem: use filters, install an apodizing mask, increase magnification a bit, keep your eyes at a higher photopic level by looking at the reflection from a bright-white-light flashlight, or all of these methods together.

May I know which moon altlas you are using , that can show the excatly same image orientation of a newtonian scope , when the scope is pointing at different direction ?
To me , how to find a specific object with a map easily , is the basis to enjoy the moon . If the image orientation is different , you are difficlut to find an object . If you can't find out a target , you cannot observe it more detailly .

Sarkikos : 05/17/11 08:56 AM from Maryland, USA
MANDII,
Here are several lunar atlases which have the inverted (Newtonian) orientation:
- Hatfield Photographic Lunar Atlas, Jeremy Cook
- Kleiner Mondatlas, Antonin Rukl (inverted and reversed views)
- Photographic Atlas of the Moon, Siew Meng Chong et al.
- Moon Atlas, John Moore (natural, inverted and reversed atlases)
I agree. When I'm using a Newtonian scope, I don't want to have to hold the atlas upside down or read the labels upside down. I want the observation session to be as easy and straightforward as possible. Anything that complicates things and gets in the way of my observing needs to be corrected and simplified. It just makes good sense.

Can anyone recommend a good map of the moon oriented like the view in my dob? Or a good book for getting started in exploring the moon?
MANDII : 06/09/11 09:55 PM
Well , this is a good topic to talk about .
In my idea , in order a moon map can be used by all kinds of telescope , and all it's pointing direction , it should have 3 kinds of views . Flip E-W , N-S inverted and most importantly it can be rotated to any angle . If anybody know this kind of software( I mean it can be rotated ) , pls teach me and thankful . We need to use software of moon map , not a copy of paper , because we can do many things in computer , like searching the crators by it's name , zooming view , taking picture of crators , or etc ... So a software of moon map is better and much more convienient than just a paper of map .
Why it depands on pointing direction ? In my actual usage of a newtonian scope for a long time , I found that the pointing direction of a DOB , newtonian scope ,except the refractor type scope , can cause the image in an eyepiece , to rotate to some angle . You can easily discover this image feature when you test even a fixed territoral building with a newtonian scope .
The image in eyepeice rotates clockwisely or anti-clockwisely , when your newtonian scope is pointed at different direction or angle . Of course in this test you have to locate the telescope in different position on the ground , such that the same buiding in different pointing direction , can be seen .
simpleisbetter : 06/09/11 10:10 PM from Republic, MO
As for software always being better and more convenient than a paper atlas, I'm not certain I completely agree. But if that flexiblity in software is what you're looking for, then download and install Virtual Moon Atlas. I run it, but I still prefer Rukl, the Lunar Field Atlas, or NASA maps.
--------------------
Steve
MANDII : 06/09/11 10:28 PM
Steve , I am using it , the virtual moon atlas , but it cannot be rotated . If you like paper , you can print it out from the that software at the time of observation .
Using computer has defintely another advantage , I am doing this kind of thing recently indeed . The advantage is : The observation can be planned in computer ! Before you are going to observe an object on the ground of a moon ( e.g crators ), you can do some kind of preparation . The preparation help you find an object more easily . You just save the picture that shows the nearby region of your target object . Or print it out in an paper . Or just save it as an picture to view in a computer display . And use it during the observing night . It save you much of the time at the observing night .
Maybe I'm not following you in what you mean by it can't be rotated. If you switch to the Tools tab to the right of the screen (see atch pix), in the middle of that tab section you will see a block for rotation. You can select both default orientation and direction of rotation. It's always worked for me. Now, I will say I've noticed that when you switch to eyepiece view, it seems to want to reset to default orientation, but once eyepiece view is turned on you can simply rotate it until it matches your FOV in the eyepiece. I hope that helps.

Well , both of you are well said .
what I am feeling is that moon has much much thing to see , than any others . There is so many landsacpes on the moon , each time you can look at them , by the use of telescopes . So we should find , and discover more things to observe on the moon ground , as much as we can . That's good .
Looking moon is better than planets , because we probably cannot see much details on a planet( Jupitor / Saturn ) , so everytime it's basicly same details to look at these planets . And you have to use very advanced telescope to reveal the details in a planets , this make the cost increase. And there is not so many planets to look at as well . So basicly each time is same as I said previously .
Comparing Deep sky objects , there is much much these objects , visual observation mainly on clusters and galaxies , imaging is engaged in nebulas . And the cost of telescope is comparatively not so high , so it's worth to look at Deep sky . However , main problem is that there is not so many good days we can have chance to observe deep sky , it is very sensitive to local weathers .
Thus , MOON OBSERVATION , is the cheapest , oftenly enjoyable target for us , than any of others ,probably as of now , and as of comming years of time which are said that the weather condition is getting bad and more bad than now . The sky is getting polluted always .
Best Regrads ,

MANDII,
Yes, you don't need a big powerful telescope to see plenty of detail on the Moon. My 90mm f/13.3 Mak has become my most-used Moon scope. It is very light, easily portable, can be moved on the tripod with one hand. I can set it up on the front porch, or walk it around to the side of my house or a relatively glare-free area by a nearby pond. Sure, my 10" Newt will resolve a dozen or so craterlets in Plato and the rille in Alpine Valley, but the little Mak is true grab-and-go and will show enough detail to keep me busy for hours.
And in many areas, including my neighborhood, the light pollution has gotten so bad that it is really a waste of time to look at much else besides the Moon, planets and double stars. I save the faint stuff for my trips to a dark site. But at the dark site, I avoid looking at the Moon, planets and double stars. It just makes good sense.

Mike , when I was very young , I like going out many places ,Travelling etc ... instead of staying at home . At that time , I did not know there is the moon around me . When I am middle young as of now , I am getting tired going out . Most of the time I am at home or at office , of course not all the time I mean mostly saying . So, I can do fixed point observation only . And I am gradaually knowing how to use my telescope , to open one more window in looking at the night sky . I gradually learn how to navigate the ground on the moon . Funny indeed . Better than watching TV at home .
