It was clouded over here and I had given up seeing it. At some point I
stepped outside to see if a glimpse was possible. The sky had cleared
and there it was, pretty much like in your photograph!
Thanks for the picture.

I picked up my copy in the bookstore for the equivalent of
USD 100 or so. It is used in a class at the university, so
there may be some volume discounts factored in, but by and
large it is more or less standard price for textbooks.

Ah, OK, thanks. I must admit I haven't used it since my student
days, and wasn't sure if I was just misremembering it.
One thing I remember about it was that we had a single "lab copy"
that was jealously guarded because it was so eye-wateringly
expensive. Is that still the case?

Thanks for the comments Rune.
Since I've always done RF and telco apps, I never messed with
processing poor images alot. Now that I'm getting into
astrophotography I'm doing quite a bit I'm looking at their tried and
true methods. Thanks for the pointer on the book.
I have been playing quite a bit with stacking images and it works
quite well.
Clay

That has a fantastic colour range, is there a higher res. version about? If
you don't mind I'd like to print that at A3 and stick it on a wall at home!

It was originally, according to the preface of this new book.
Apparently Gonzales and Wintz wrote the first couple of
editions, and then it became Gonzales and Woods. The full
story is outlined in the 2008 book.

A nice image! I missed that eclipse, as it occured at 4AM local
time. There was one lunar eclipse in 2000 or 2001 which happened
around 10PM local time. The weather was clear, so everybody saw
everything. It was very interesting to see how the lights
went off in one house after the other, as people turned off
the indoor lights in order to see better.

Why? ;)
If you really want to go that way: I just got a copy of the
2008 edition of Gonzales & Woods' classic text on image
processing. Compared to the 1987 and 1992 editions,
this new one is far more focused on practical techniques
as opposed to concepts. It still requires a bit of work to
decode the useful techniques from the text, but not nearly
as much as with the previous editions.
