Basic planetary imaging using a focus mask and SharpCap

[Chris]

Mars is nearly at opposition so if you've never imaged the planets before and fancy giving it a go this video should help a little bit. It's fairly basic and not the best instructional video in the world but it should do the job. There are lots of items in SharpCap I haven't covered of course, and capturing with SharpCap or FireCapture isn't the whole story, there's also post processing to get your head around, but I'll cover that next. I'm fairly sure that will be the better video out the two as I had people walking by staring at me for this one lol
