Mars 18/9/2020 + anim

[AbsolutelyN]

Another Mars. Taken this morning with 250PDS at f/29 with zwo 224mc. 

 

Also combined the entire session into a quick animation. It's a bit flickery and jittery. Need to preserve some of the blues in the final image somehow and perhaps lower contrast in darker areas.

Good work... you've nicely avoided blowing out the SPC like I did last night! Are you doing the animation in PIPP?

Thanks. I'm aiming to keep histogram just over half way when capturing data to try to avoid blown highlights. 

I just opened all the files on layers in photoshop and used the timeline to make a gif animation. Not figured out PIPP animation yet. Seeing the animation, which has very light processing, makes me think I'm spending too much time trying to extract detail and the natural tones and colours are being somewhat lost.

Thats a cracking image Tristan. Lots of very nice contrasty detail from the 250pds.
