Hi everyone,
Here's an image of Mars (CM48deg) I took last Sunday morn using a 5 inch f9.3 achromatic refractor with 3x barlow projection. Image is result of 800 best frame stack of 2300 frame Neximage .avi Filtration consisted of the integrated IR block built into the imager coupled with a Baader Contrast Booster MV filter to help with the unavoidable secondary spectrum. I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did because focusing on the laptop was a real chore. Every touch of the focus knob sent the image on the screen dancing. I now have put in an order for a motofocus from JMI to make focusing a little more predictable
Steady skies,
Karl
