Mare Nectaris463 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.

Saturn @ f30415 viewsSaturn, taken in a short period between clouds, with slightly different processing than the prior image. I sharpened in Registax using diadic ^2 curves settings. I think I got slightly better visibility of the rings and stripes. I also raised the black point in Photoshop, other processing was the same.
