Pete Presland Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 As if Mars isn't a difficult enough target in good conditions, with no conifers blocking the view. Last nights(morning) session dragged on to 2:30am, due to cloud, conifers, trees. The overall seeing wasn't to bad to be honest, just the altitude and obstructions. C9.25/ASI120mm, 150 seconds per channel. I might give it go de-rotating, but it did look like it didn't need it. Pleased to get a reasonable image considering the problems, only 3 imaging runs in over 2 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Smith Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 That's a cracking Mars pic Pete. I was surprised how good the seeing was visually last night during my hours visit with Jupiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil phillips Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I think there has been good seeing recently Pete. It certainly looks that way from your shot. I was expecting something other than what popped up. Should have done 5 mins a channel using winjupos. would likely have been better still. Regardless you have done well. its a good capture Pete well done. Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly worth trying Pete. PS I reckon there might be more in the image to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owmuchonomy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Very good. At least you can see it! I have got no chance from my property. Looks like your RGB align needs a little tweak maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
