Short Mars Rotational Video

[Stargazer33]

I finally got round to processing my videos from 08/09 April (Mars at Opposition).

I took 18 three minute videos over the course of a couple of hours - 3 minute video, 3 minute wait, 3 minute video, 3 minute wait...etc, etc, etc

I selected the best 25 % of the frames of each video and cropped them to 640 x 480 in PIPP and then stacked them and applied wavelets and RGB alignment in RS6. I then used Windows Movie Maker to produce the following video in WMV format.

After all that, it is not much to show; but it is my first attempt and I can only get better...I hope!

Sorry I don't know how to play a video in this post.

like most things in Astronomy
the amount of work put in never seems to show in the final shot

To expect everyone to download an unknown file just to view it is a bit unnecessary ...   

Upload it to YT and the post a link using the "Share" option to display it here , I look forward to seeing the animation after all your hard work ...

Thanks oldpink!

Steve, I will give that a try. Don't get too excited though!

Hope this is better. As Steve suggested the video (improved) has been uploaded to YT and then linked back to here.
