Beautiful capture, perfect processing balance for me as well.

Celestron C9.25 for portable setup
Pete Presland replied to vlebo's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
I guess the C9.25 on an alt az mount would certainly be a lot a easier than my EQ6. -
I did a quick RGB balance, RGB align in Registax 6, here is the result. There is still a little artifact on the limb (Onion peel effect), it is generally accepted that this can be caused by not a high enough gain setting during capturing.

Nothing wrong with camera/scope combination. Not used the camera, but there are some fine planetary images taken with it online. The scope needs no introduction, its an excellent choice. do you have a capture log file, like what you get when you use Firecapture?

Very nicely imaged.

Very annoying knowing Mars is shinning away behind those clouds! -

I have a C9.25 and I love it, I use more than any other scope I own. For simplicity though, I would think a large Dob would be difficult to beat for visual astronomy. Lightweight and easy to transport as well, I guess the only thing maybe is how do you feel about the collimation? -

That is good news, by the look if the weather, it's not going to get much use this weekend unfortunately. -
