Beautiful artwork! Sometimes I wonder if there is an image file format which allows hover over pop-ups without other software, e.g., on a web server (I doubt anything exists for hover over without something like a surrounding markup language). Would be really fascinating if we could catalogue all of your images along with pop-up text of what the color represents, e.g., on this, the type of soil. Just me rambling…the images are inspiring.
Hi linuxdev,
I don’t know such software. QGIS can do things which are a bit like this but QGIS is not really simple and user friendly.
From what I know, I would need an extra vector layer which could bring specific areas with attributes (soil composition).

Hello,
back to colors of the Moon soils, using JetsonSky.
Mainly mare Tranquilitatis and Mare Serenitatis.
Quite beautiful colors in my opinion.
Alain
Nice! It makes me wonder, is the black content in the upper left basically along the dividing line of the light and dark sides of the moon?
Hi linuxdev,
dark area is still in the visible part of the Moon (near side, opposite of the far side).
The border line is the terminator and the dark part of the picture was bright few days after the capture.

Hello,
Dusty_nv is away from NVidia now.
He is the guy who believed in my project and gave me the opportunity to work with Cuda.
I will miss you in this forum Dustin.

Hello Alain,
I successfully installed JetsonSky on my new Jetson Orin Nano, but unfortunally, my 2 zwo cameras, ASI290MM mini and ASI183MM pro are not supported.
Are you planning to support more cameras on JetsonSky ?
Best regards,
Philippe
Salut Philippe,
Je ferai une version avec ces caméras. Je te tiens au courant.
Alain
Hello,
i have released a new version of JetsonSky : V53_06RC
Some new ZWO camera support :
- ASI290MM Mini
- ASI183MC, ASI183MMM, ASI183MC Pro and ASI183MM Pro
Concerning ASI183 cameras, not sure it will work properly because of the sensor form factor which is not 4/3 or 16/9 or 1/1.
Just tell me if it works fine or not.

Hello Alain, many thanks for this new version supporting my cameras. I will test it as soon as the weather will permit.
Hi,
small test yesterday despite a quite poor sky (it seems fires in Spain brings some smoke in the sky here).
I made a new test to compare 8 bits and 16 bits capture.
For memory, when i use 16 bits capture, i can keep the X first bits ans stretch them on a full 8 bits scale. This is interesting to retrieve the small bits information on a full scale. BUT, you will need to manage heavy noise.
The result :
16 bits mode wins.
Alain
That’s a dramatic difference. Just out of curiosity, what was the lens size and aperture setting?
Hi linuxdev,
The lens is a small 8mm f/d 1.3 C mount no name lens.

Hello,
once again with the colors of the Moon.
This time, i colorized some Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter pictures (taken with wide angle camera WAC).
Here are Mare Tranquilitatis and Mare Serenitatis :
Here is Aristarchus crater region :

Have a nice trip !

And now, the full Moon (LRO) with colors (my data) :
The link to the full (which is in fact a quarter of the full) :
It would be fascinating to have a telescope able to view the moon like this, and run the colorization process in real time. Sort of like VR goggles, but VR monocular. As always, it is art!
Hello linuxdev,
Jetsonsky can do the job in realtime. The problem is that the result is not as good as the result we get with clean and sharp image.
When I will use my telescope again this winter, I will make test with colors of the Moon during capture.
For now, the Moon is too low above horizon.
Alain
Hello,
still working on the colors of the Moon soils.
The base data is map of the soils colors (JetsonSky treatment). I had to get a georeferenced map, using digital elevation model of the Moon (USGS data). I used QGIS and ESRI 103881 Moon_2000_Equidistant_Cylindrical coordinates system.
I used Google Earth to make a small video of a journey over a colored Moon.
For those who could be interested with the georeferenced color map (far from being perfect), you can download the georeferenced TIF image here :
The Google Earth video :
Have a nice day.
Alain
