Mars 12/13th September

Another view with a little scope (180 Mak). The seeing was no better than average, with a better patch once or twice. 2000/8000 frames. Autostakkert, PS.

Although higher in the sky now, I could still see an improvement using the ADC.

Nice work! Lots of detail visible.  This must be Mare Erythraeum and its 'bays'

That's a great result with a 180 Mak. Lots of detail visible. Taking several images and combining in WinJUPOS would increase the smoothness.

Thanks for this. This was two files combined in PIPP,  but I'd love to try all 8 with Winjupos (any recommendations for an 'idiot's guide')? I noticed that an amazing image you posted was combined with WJ.

Hi Chris. Here is a good guide to using WinJUPOS

Many thanks for this - I'm trying to get as sharp an image as 7" will allow, and every little helps. With a stack of two files, there doesn't seem to be any blurring but eight may create a problem I suppose. As far as I can see, my sharpening and deconvolution haven't created any false detail, but I have hit it hard.

For example, the above sharpened more and a survey image of Mars (SkySafari) for the same time - the detail looks genuine.
