First Ever Mars, First with new scope

Hi All!

Dodging dew, clouds and mist, but I had to try the new toy!

Starmaster 14.5 @ approx F/25
Toucam 840
Registax 3

I really don't have the hang of either the capture software, or processing software. This is my first ever with the new scope, first with new webcam, first try with registax and first ever Mars. I am happy for this series of firsts!

I wanted to try Saturm later, but clouds, drizzle and dew ....

Thanks for looking.

Hello Greg!

Starmaster 14.5? NICE UPGRADE from what I recall you had! 8)
Congratulations, and enjoy it!

Nice first shot with it...
What were your settings, and how many frames you stacked?

Might want to invest in a Dew Control system... (I would consider them a MUST have item)



Clear skies! 8)

Gregg,

What a nice result for all your first's. The only thing left is practice, practice, practice... , which with a setup like that should be lots of fun!

Hi Gregory,

Excellent image detail for a 1st try! A bit of blue fringe, maybe that could be corrected by realigning the separate RGB images?
Great scope too, but then I'm biased 8)

thanks for posting
