First of 2022, NGC 2024 and Barnard 33 DSLR, 100ED
PH-R replied to PH-R's topic in Imaging - Deep Sky
Thanks Geordie85! Just checked now and I do have subs with high cloud. Will have another go with the cleaner data. -
Managed to get out last night, first of 2022, conditions were not ideal because of all the moisture around. I can't be picky though, considering we only get about 10 windless clear nights in the valleys in winter. This picture is the highlight of the night consisting of NGC 2024 - Flame Nebula and Barnard 33 - Horse Head Nebula in the constellation Orion. 10min exposures stacked for a total of 3hrs 20mins integration time. No flats or darks, only bias frames used. I was trying out 10min exposures.

Thanks for the link, I will give it ago when I get some clear skies, forecast looking awful for the next week.

Skywatcher 100Ed 2.5 powermate, Zwo 224MC. Mars Gain= 31 Exposure=0.015737 Uranus Gain=258 Exposure=0.058589 Thursday night here had some really good seeing so I decided to try some imaging again. The night was nearly a disaster when noticed my dew heater cables were unplugged when switching from Saturn to Mars! and the lens was full of dew. Explains why I could not get decent focus on Saturn 🙂 Once everything was dry again I began. I managed to image Olympus Mons on Mars this time so really happy. I then switched over to Uranus and after about 10 minutes of switching between eyepiece and camera I was amazed to see a bluish out of focus blob on the screen, tried focusing best I could and this is the result. I just need Neptune now for my set, can't wait! Uranus at 200%, Mars at 100%

Hehe, I am going to need a longer selfie stick 🙂

CraigT82 has a Mars post and I can see clouds in his data, so I would say they are clouds.

With the addition of Mars my quest to image all the planets in the Solar system and our Moon took a step forward. All the images were taken with the ASI 224MC apart from the 2012 Jupiter which was captured using a SPC 900. Uranus is going to be my next target. Also I am claiming the Mercury transit as my Mercury for now 🙂

My first mars - 8th Oct - Ed100 - Zwo 225MC - 2xpowermate
PH-R replied to PH-R's topic in Imaging - Planetary
I joined all the separate AVI clips into one large video using pipp. I then auto aligned the RGB in RegiStax and stacked the best 80%. Slight sharpen and warming filter in PS. I prefer the following version. 150% and 100% -

Very nice, well done.

Great first attempt. I can see some drift in the stars, maybe try some deconvolution to adjust them?
