Hi Robin!
Thanks for your comments! Yes! The picture is taken on 28th November, 2006 and processed 2 days later.

You can learn the processing from their manual and forums.

You can download both Software and Manual File from Registax 4 Download Page.

You are always welcome friend!

Funny? :roll:

Actually "China reflector and webcam" = "Made in China Reflector Telescope and Made in China Web Cam".

My telescope come with the plain box. No brand printed on it. My telescope is a kind of cheap telescope but there is no choice in our country. Only china made telescopes are available and only a few numbers of shop selling telescopes.

China made Web Cam is also a cheap one. There is a brand on it but I don't know how to read chinese. :lol:

You can have a look at My Equiptment here.

How do you name all the features in the photo? Do you know them personally?

That means you know them well without referring to any guide. So, you named them according to the book? I am keen on learning the names of the features on the Moon.
Clear skies,
Robin.

Hi Robin,

I'm getting more interesting on Moon after capturing some moon pics.
As I can't buy any books regarding Astronomy in our country, I must rely on internet and here is the one I like. May be you know that software already. Hope you like it! :)
