IR685 Mars 250PX 290MM

[tooth_dr]

I was able to grab this IR image through some hazy cloud last night at 21:41.  500/5000 frames.  Are the focal length figures accurate in FC? Any comments re capture parameters?

 

Thanks!

Adam.

Thanks Geof, and thanks for all the pointers and help you gave me.

I took some videos last night, not as good as I hoped, but planetary imaging has a learning curve too, and isnt directly relatable to deep sky stuff.

Cant help but see a face here

That definitely looks like a face with a 'comb over' across the left eye....
