First attempt at Mars

[samir_ansari]

Honestly, as a first go I think this came out a little better than I thought it would!

This was taken as IrRGB with a skymax 127 and 2.5x barlow and was only made from about 400/2000 frames. I think I need to capture many more frames the next time I try this but at the moment I'm chuffed to bits

Cool - lots of detail for a skymax 127 :-)

Great job!

Interesting shot, I've been wanting to see what a SkyMax-127 can do with a x2.5 for some time...

[RogerTheDodger]

That's rather good

That takes me back to the wonderful views of Mars I had in January 2010, thank you

[Clayton]

Very promising Samir

[samir_ansari]

Thanks guys! will have to try this one again soon with more frames

[Olorin]

very good for a first attempt, looking forward to your next attempts :-)

I think it's the IR pass filter which helped the most, I highly recommend it to anyone trying to image this target as it give far better detail than a normal RGB image.
