SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 1:08 pm I took a look a an overlay which assumes 180 perfect rotation when clashing but couldn't match up the image. My best guess it is the rocky portion below the memorial or it evens resembles Monticello with the dome image in the middle. FG's initials look odd too. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 1:29 pm Yep, I have been honing my pic taking skills and sometimes I get it right but I am still not happy with my pics a lot of times. Trying to get the coin in the right position, adjusting the light angle, zoom depth, etc. Sorry about the lighting... Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 2:08 pm What is your camera and light source? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 2:56 pm John1, I use 2 lights, 1 I can control the angle and brightness for indirect and the celestron USB camera has lights I cannot turn off. I have another USB on a stand I can control the brightness with but the camera software stinks... I was watching videos on DIY lighting/camera boxes and Dinolite today and liked their software...not sure what is the best investment to make. If the camera is good seems like the SW stinks and vice versa. :) Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 3:18 pm I have a Celestron and a Dino-Tite and had to block off all but one light at the 12k position and then put a filter over that one. Then if needed,I use a hand held LED flashlight. Whenever possible I like using a point-n-shoot camera with natural sunlight. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 3:26 pm Thanks for the tips John1. I have been playing with how to change the light reflection from the USB camera by inserting the tip of my finger, the black end of a pen or something else which causes the light brightness to adjust. I am also trying various filter materials. I would really like to find a standalone piece of software that would work with either camera but no joy so far. I like the Dinolite SW features I saw in the videos for making lines, measuring, etc. Someone smarter than me should invent the "The Jetson's Coin Hunting Dream Machine", it measures the radius, weighs the coin, immediately recognizes errors and varieties, takes the imagery, labels it and inserts a link to the right reference.
