Quick process from last night looks promising :

Something else I capture earlier in the evening for the first time lol :

nice Mars some excellent detail there, despite the conditions which should improve from today onwards.

Looking good Stuart. Hope one of mine from last night comes out as good.

Nice. I've had some similar detail in the last few days - interesting the cloud/dust on the LHS of the image.

Nicely done Stuart. Plenty of detail in that Mars. Still haven't got round to processing mine yet!!! Like the ISS also..good stuff.

Cheers guys!

ISS is a tough nut Pete the speed of it. Out of a 10000 avi only captured 12 frames!

Here is the same Mars image but more frames stacked (5000) :

Nice detail on Mars.

Looks like you've been more successful with the ISS than I have, on my first attempt FC crashed and on the second I got three blurry frames of it.

Thanks James! I did try the other night but the laptop did a blue screen crash on me lol Must be something about the ISS as I don't have crash issues when planetary imaging.

Cheers Lee!

Thanks James yes they are with the colour cam but I did take one avi with red mono taken just over 10 mins earlier at 23.39 ut :

Thanks Simon!

Great stuff - And personally very useful! Trained my VIDEO setup onto Mars for "tests" with MAK150.

OK, so MAK150 + x2 Barlow = 3600mm / f12.  With Watec's 8.5 micron pixels gives a LITTLE Mars: 

Awwww... Heheh   But does look like we are seeing (roughly!) the same thing.

Now much more inspired to do this with a dedicated camera / the right focal length combination!

Looking great Stuart. Mars presenting lovely detail in your images.

[Alan]

Good one Stuart, looks like we all had some steady seeing  

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks Simmo!

Cheers Alan the seeing has been reasonable but as yet I've not had good seeing probably 5-6/10 at best.
