Comparison Martian features with Stellarium

[pixueto]

I find it amazing that with an 8'' newtonian, a 3X barlow and a bit of image processing (registax) it is possible for us to distinguish features and terrain in Mars.

brilliant. love it!

Not too bad

A bit more scale would help.

Thanks guys! Following your suggestion 150 % blown up.

I think Clayton may have meant a LOT more scale.....

Something like this maybe?

Pretty good match and prettier colours.

It's holding up well

However that is perhaps a tad too much for my liking

I really meant try more scale at capture

I tried stacking a 2X ultima and a Tal 3X barlow but it didn't come up very well, I'm afraid.

Some people stack Barlows with great success

Not me though

All you can do is try I guess

I think I prefer to work with Barlows that provide near the scale that I require, then add extensions for that little bit extra if I wish.

Great work
