Hi all,

I've been going through all my unprocessed avi's and ran into this one which I guess I didn't think much of at first, but now looking at it I can't imaging why?

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/46, ToUcam 840, Seeing ?, Frames= 540/2300 @ 10fps, Taken November 6, 2005 at 4:00 UT, Resized 120%.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Ed;

Amazing clarity and detail, period! Even more so when considering "only" 8" of aperture. I am really jealous. I didn't get any good Mars images for '03, or '05. What is it, another 15 years? 8O

Congtats on the fine image.

That's a real beauty, it must set the standard for an 8" image.
