Mars 3rd February

[Clayton]

The seeing wasn't too bad tonight, but clouds were frustrating

This is the first capture (about 80 frames of 20000) processed.

Now to bed for some sleep

More later:eek:

The processing is a bit rough, but I have lot's more data Just wish I had more time

[Space Cowboy]

I reckon you can be a bit more generous with the stacked frames Rob and bring out some more detail.

[Clayton]

Thanks Ben, unfortunately it's even cloudier tonight with rain

But hopefully better things coming.

Thanks Neilius.

Thanks Simon, There is never enough detail in this game

Thanks Jon, hopefully with a reprocess I can squeeze out a bit more

Nice capture Clayton, Man your ruthless with your stacking selection, as Stuart says. was the seeing that iffy ? you say it was reasonable

[Clayton]

Thanks Stuart and Neil

To be honest I was too tired at the time to do more

I tried the best 500 In R6 but it was hopeless. Many of the frames selected were hardly recognizable as a Planet let alone looking like Mars I even went to 1/1000sec the other night on the 14" to see if I could freeze the seeing, but it was no better )

The type of seeing we are getting here ATM is some times splitting the whole planet into 2 recognizable images of the Planet on the one frame ?? others are a large linear blur, and these are showing up in the first few quality sorted frames??

I am very busy ATM, but in the coming week/s I will try out some different things, and perhaps even resort to a semi manual culling system.
