Packers Win!!

Today we started our day by touring an art gallery at the University of Arizona, it was really interesting! I have never seen such beautiful black and white photos as the ones on display by Ansel Adams. I can appreciate the photos much more now that I have been surrounded by mountains such as the ones he photographed. My favorite photographs were the two he took five years apart at the same spot in one of the National Parks. I felt it was awesome how it outlined the change that can happen in that time period. We finished up there and made our way to our next destination, Starizona.
At Starizona I picked up some post cards to send to my family. But the real highlight of this store was the Registax pointers I received from the owner. I approached him with some questions and he was very helpful, he cleared up the proper number of frames i should aim to stack, and also helped me understand many of the wavelet (sharpening) commands. After trying some of the pointers out it seems the best one was to align the frames using one alignment box around the whole planet. It helped clean up much of the image fragmenting that was happening with multiple points. He also explained that this happens because on an image with low resolution it is hard for the program to track the small points we were picking. Look at the comparison from before and after I tried these techniques.

And the highlight of the night was the Green Bay Packers dismembering the Atlanta Falcons (41-24 I believe), NFC Championship HERE WE COME!!!
