Mars from 24th November

[legion48]

The cat woke me up at 05:00 this morning, wanting to be let in. When I opened the back door, there was Mars, looking like a bright jewel in the sky, not much affected by a very bright moon. I couldn't resist.....

Great capture mate! Really love the colour.

Nice piccy, I was going to give mars ago last night BUT atmosphere was very tubulent so gave it a miss.

[GazOC]

Nice shot, better than I managed last night...

You are becoming very adept at imaging this planet now L48. This is another excellent result.

I bet you are excited about opposition in December.

Thanks Ron. I think my recent good results are in large part down to the quality of my barlows. I knew my x2 Celestron Ultima was a good'en and now, it seems, my new x4 Imagemate is equally as good.

I am looking forward to opposition, but mainly because I wont have to get up/stay up till stupid o'clock.

I can only echo Ron's comments L48. Very nice indeed.

If you reduce the blue, a bit more detail begins to shows through. Don't go too far though or Mars begins to look rather like a yellow tennis ball! :shock: Good fun but not the result you want I'm sure.

Cheers

I am trying out Photoshop, manipulating images. Might get hooked on imaging!!

I can see how it can turn into a yellow tennis ball.

Give it more elbow,viking!

SPOT THE BALL.

(click as usual)

That's strange! It doesn't look half as yellow as it does on my screen! Mars that is. The ball looks 'yellower'.

excellent pic

When I was observing Mars on the 24th the seeing was pretty good.

Thank Ian.

A belated well done on your October visual double discovery too. I can't seem to reply to the announcement in "Published members" so I'd like to congratulate you here.

Nice image L48, I'm really impressed with what you have your 130SLT doing.
