    A lovely sharp Martian image, excellent level of details visible.
  2. Pete Presland
    Come out very well, excellent animation.
  3. Pete Presland
    Very nicely captured.
  4. Pete Presland
    Very nice, particularly the 2nd attempt, a definite improvement.
  5. Pete Presland
    Some nice details visible there.
  6. Pete Presland
    Beautiful capture, perfect processing balance for me as well.

    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?
  10. Pete Presland
    Very nicely imaged.
  11. Pete Presland
    Very annoying knowing Mars is shinning away behind those clouds!
  12. Pete Presland
    I have mine on an Orion EQ6, its very heavy!

    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.

    Not sure to be honest, I have seen images with hints of detail at both ends of the spectrum. I guess different ends of the spectrum reveal different features maybe, I might try my 224mc next time I imaging Venus.
  23. Pete Presland
    Sorry, just noticed you using a colour camera I think my advice will probably be wrong for that camera. {must read the post completely} I would still give it a go though, maybe without the IR cut to begin with.
  24. Pete Presland
    Definitely worth a try, I used one before I purchased a UV filter. It might worth trying doubling up the no47 with an IR cut filter as well. I know this method has been used for "budget" Venus UV imaging, as the Baader UV filter is £170+. You will probably need plenty of gain, a longish exposure and plenty of frames. Look forward to seeing how you get on.

    A very interesting read. Love the detail in "white light" images, particularly in Penumbra. The Solar flare looked equally superb!
