Mauna Kea Observatories
Dec 17, 2018 16:37:17 #
I was working on Mauna Loa one day and when finished, I pulled out my Canon 60D with my Tamron 150-600 G2 lens. I rested it on a rock wall, turned off the IS and auto focus. I processed it with the Canon DPP software and the trial version of Topaz. This was cropped from the original shot and was at a distance of about 12 miles.

For the distance involved, and the crop, that appears to have a very low noise content even when double download. Very impressive.

Thanks TBerwick, I'm impressed with the Topaz software. The AlClear cleans up the noise and sharpens nicely. I think I'm sold and will purchase it when the trial is over.

One of my daughters and her husband recently purchased a lot on the big island and plan to build a house and retire there in the next couple of years. I we ever get over there to visit, this is one place I'd like to see.

That is a great photo, but the observatories are even more interesting taken from closer up. If interested, you can see them here (scroll down): https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/sets/72157631618432853/

Nice shots, I've worked on the UH88 and was doing some work at the Mauna Loa site just a few weeks ago. Love the Big Island, but housing issues and medical issues forced me back to the mainland.

Thanks, alberio. I don't like to post actual photos in another's thread unless asked, but I think a link that requires volition to access is OK.
