Steve Ward Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Poor seeing and 50% cloud cover by the time I dragged myself vertical , grabbed one quick set of 100 and stacked 27 ... managed to catch the tiny pore following the biggie though ... 1000D + Tal 100RS + 1.4 x Barlow + ND3.8 + OIII. 1/200s @ ISO 100 , 27/100 , PIPP , AS!2 , Reg 6 , Gimp 2.8.

Davey-T Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nicely done Steve, set up here and had some spots of rain so unset, not looking hopeful ATM. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ward Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Cheers guys , it was clear here first thing according to Sat24 , but spent too long last night waiting for a gap to grab Mars that never arrived so was a bit slow out of the blocks this morning ...

DrRobin Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nice one Steve. It started clear and bright but clouded up here as well. I am waiting for my go at Mars, trouble is it doesn't clear the house roof for my 10" so will have to set up a 4" frac in the garage.

Steve Ward Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks Robin , Both Mars and Saturn are proving elusive this year and I fear it's going to get harder before it gets easier ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop Of Sun Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nice one, Steve. Well done on the pore and of course the big 'un. Ah, that's why you were slow out of the blocks. I went to bed late and figured that would mean clear in the morning. Woke up not too late, checked sat24, and hared it downstairs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Good catch. Apart from the big spot and some faculae, there only seems to be a little pore east of centre. No luck here at all. Looks like the whole week will be wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ward Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 The pore was ideal , I prefer to use them to focus on as a little one side or the other and they tend to disappear in poor seeing , get focus nailed and they are on show ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
