Stub Mandrel Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I found a version of Mars I took with my Bridge camera on 6 June 16 at about 22:30, each sub doesn't look much but I stacked lots of them. I am sorting through old pictures (to avoid cloud fever) and wondered if the pattern is real or not. Here's the stacked image (bear in mind this is from jpegs out of a bridge camera with built in zoom, albeit 1000mm equivalent) and Stellariums pic of mars for the same date and time. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kropster Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I looks like the real thing......right colours and pattern looks just what you would expect. Quite a result given the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion25 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looks about right; not bad considering what you were using at the time. Is this a cropped image? Could you post the full-size? Regards, Reggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn from the same night, even more subs (50) <Edit> Interesting some of the single Mars subs look more like the stellarium pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's how I got into this lark - I got some recognisable images of Saturn in 2014/5, but I went back to the planets last year to see if I had learned anything! there were a few things I could change like turning anti-vibration off, getting exposure right and mostly getting the focus right (it has optional manual focus and exposure/aperture). I suppose teh mnarks on Mars are similar in size to saturn's rings, just not as sharp edges so I shouldn't be surprised it came out, but I am!

Pete Presland Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Very impressive considering its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
