Starman Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Lucky because I wouldn't normally start imaging until a couple of hours after this to allow the planet to get close to it's maximum altitude. This one was taken with Mars at 41 degrees above the horizon. The seeing looked ok so I decided to grab it. A few minutes after gathering an RGBR set, thick fog rolled in. Although fog can sometimes help stabilise the view, in this case it completely blocked out the planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Nice going Pete. Another stunner!I notice that there is 6 minutes between the start of the capture to the end - at what point will the rotation of mars make the capturing of more frames counter productive?Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 It's a few minutes Ant but do you think a small rotation in the blue is going to affect things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I hadn't thought that deeply Pete, but now it's pointed out you have a point. Quite clever that actually, use the quality time for the channels that have the information in them, the blue seems to be mainly for colour balance...
