Venus from 16th march

About 200 of 300 frames. Skymax 150 Pro, Toucam, IRcut and Hartmann mask left on to dim the image a bit.

Hi Tony,

Yep we were imaging at the same time

That's a nice crescent you have there! Can you use the Hartman mask to focus on an extended object (I thought that they worked on stars?).

Your focus looks spot on, and you certainly managed a better %'age of good frames than I did!

Seeing was dire this evening.

The Toucam does a great job doesn't it?

Cheers

Thanks Ant.

Yes, a Hartman mask can be used to get focus on a planet. I've even used it on the moon before. Just pick a crater, pop the Hartman on and make the "2" craters become one.
