Mars 15-09-2020

I had another crack at Mars last night after collimating my new 250 PDS. The mono camera was busy with the RASA so this is with the 224MC and RGB only rather than with IR. I used a 3x barlow and then once centered I added a second (old and cheap) 2x barlow. Does that make 7200mm?! I used to think a 400mm lens was long 🙂

Very nice detail coming through, yes sounds like you've hit 7200mm.

Some very nice detail coming out in that image, Nowt wrong with skywatcher mirrors is there.

Just had a second go at processing this image of Mars and think I've pulled out a bit more detail. 5 images run through WinJUPOS.  Managed to pull out the clouds at the top which I've seen in other images taken at same time.

That's a really good image, well done. Not much wrong with your set up.

Have become slightly obsessed with trying to figure out how to best process mars so have some up with a third version. Need to get some new data to play with now.
