Wow! Those screenshots are very nice. Inspirational. Makes me anxious to get done with some other projects so I can begin work on my own CTC-5N. If I ever get mine to look as good as yours, I'll be absolutely delighted. Nice job.
You might be interested to know that I worked at Warner Bros. Studios when they did that restoration of Robin Hood. The movie was originally shot to three strips of black and white film running in the camera simultaneously, one for each of the three primary colors. The problem with this is the three films are not perfectly stable dimensionally. With the original Technicolor process, these color separations could be registered to overlap precisely at the center, but small errors would remain elsewhere, especially at the edges and corners.
When doing the restoration of the movie, computers were used to reregister these color separation elements in a spatially variable fashion all the way out to the corners. Very sophisticated algorithms were used to achieve this, with some human tweaking here and there to clean up trouble spots.
The result was a dramatic improvement in clarity far beyond anything that had been seen previously for Robin Hood. Detail in lace costumes even popped out that had never been seen before. Think of how much sharper a delta gun CRT looks when properly converged and you get the idea.
