Mars april 18th!

The trans was excellent last night but the seeing was average, this shot was taken at just over 30 degs alt with a x 3 barlow & upscaled! Plenty of data to go at so maybe some room for improvement! Thanks for looking!

Really nice... How long / how many frames do you take?

Cheers Knobby it depends on the frame rate, but typicaly 60fps R-30fps G & B anything up to 2 min runs on each channel with mars!

Cheers Si, I've been doing about 2 minutes worth, looks like I could push it to about 5 or 6 minutes then

Lovely detail and good colour - well done!

[Space Cowboy]

Nice shots again Simon looks like you had similar conditions to me. Your processing on Mars is A1!

[si@nite]

Cheers Stuart I collected some good data & expected better, but I find the processings always a pain with mars,trying to find that natural balance in shade & colour!

That's a fine shot Simon, I had similar conditions around the same time with good transparency between the clouds.

very nice, good surface detail showing. ironic that transparancy can be excellent, but the seeing not as good. my non astro friends find that very hard to understand the difference!
