Sunspot 987372 viewsSunspot 987 of cycle 23. Taken just as clouds were coming in, with winds occasionally jostling the scope. Processed in Registax and PixInsight. The primary contrast adjustment/sharpening was with wavelets, and I used gaussian wavelets and a linear progression.

Mare Nectaris462 viewsMare Nectaris, taken a few days after the new Moon. Fracastorius crater is the large crater at the bottom of the mare, crater Rosse is the small crater in the mare. This is a mosaic of two shots, combined in Photoshop and processed in PixInsight. The image was upsampled by 2x at the start of processing. Selection of the resampling algorithm was critical -- bilinear and even bi-cubic bi-spline added noise, cubic bi-spline had its problems but was the best overall.
