Mars - 15th September. Journey continues.

[Jarvo]

Hi All. 

I made some key changes last night. Things I did differently:

Longer .ser file (4 minutes);

Sifted through all 4000 frames to deselect the chaff;

Resisted the temptation to push magnification (used 2x apochromatic Barlow instead of 2.5x Powermate);

Deployed the new Bahtimov Mask to improve focus;

1000/4000 frames used.

The 9.25 Celestron is a fabulous Instrument and is working well. Very pleased with it. 
 

It’s so nice to work with a planet with a decent elevation at last. 
 

I also did a Uranus .ser file which I’ll be posting soon as well. 
 

Thanks for looking.
