MarsG76 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hello all, It's been a while since I posted any images on SGL, as I was collecting some Mars images during the opposition 2020 season. I'm sharing with you my better quality collection of Mars images which I have imaged during September and October 2020. For some reason I had many more nights where the seeing was so bad that my data was very blurry than nights where the detail was crips and I, either, threw out more images or gave up on imaging nights than ending up with a half decent image. These images were taken with my Celestron 8" SCT using a Skyris 618C CCD at f33 (6700mm focal length) all riding on the CGEM and captured in Firecapture. All images are De-Rotated stacks in WinJupos of the best 10% of frames from 10-20 90 second videos captured at 60 fps... number of videos I used was depended on the clarity of the atmosphere and image capture quality on the night. The date and time written in the caption is in UTC and the median time when de-rotated. Clear Skies, MG 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop1 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Great images Mariusz. The detail in the 22nd October image, particularly the edge of the polar cap, is sharp enough to draw blood! Edited November 2, 2020 by Swoop1 To correct the autocorrect of Mariusz to Marissa.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
