Mars through the Soup!

[Christopher Davenport]

Hi all,

So the conditions last night where horrendous, so I gave up on trying to image anything as the clouds where a thick soup.

All I could see with the naked eye was the moon, jupiter, mars and some bright stars.

Anyway I had a look at Mars through the Mak and I could swear I  could see some surface detail.

So I thought, what the heck, I have setup everything anyway, it would be a shame not to give it a bash.

Does make me realise I need to do this on a good night as I think I could really improve on this.

As always, share your thoughts and thanks for taking the time

That's a very nice image. You still captured plenty of detail despite the conditions. Nice work.

Not bad at all Chris - if u can do that through soupie conditions we're all in for a treat when your skies clear

Thanks guys, was wondering about the filtering affect those high up soupy clouds have.

My image profile in AS2, was 10% of stack at above 90% quality and 25% of stack above 50% quality, then a very sharp dive down to a flat line.

I wonder if the clouds make alot of the frames bad, but filter some and give you a few very good ones?

Really nice job, much better than I managed last night... But well done for sticking with it

Nice pic. Just what Maks are designed for.
