Gomer Sinus

I'm not sure who left these paint drips called Gomer Sinus, but they are a very nice help for focusing!

Taken Monday morning in better than average seeing - B&W DMK21BF04 webcam with RGB filters. Luminance is created from red and green filtered images.

best wishes,
Alan

Now that is Mars the way I like to see it processed! No ringing at the edges or overprocessing. Very nice indeed. (I need your seeing here!!)

Ditto what RC said. Very nice.

Hi Alan,

Excellent image, I always focus and align on the paint drips too

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Beautiful Alan! looks like you got some of the same reasonably good seeing I had too! That pesky jet stream has shifted far to the north for a change!

Hi Alan, just now see your image, very good.
That's a beautifull how you discipte Comer Sinus " paint drips"

I think it was from Jackson Pollock(hope I write the name good)
A artist from urly 60's i think, famous painting with lot of paint drips.
Most now be a fortune to have such paint.

I always thought that Gomer looked like one of the paint jobs I used to give to my bike when I was a kid (which makes it kind of hard to recall )

Apart from that, a very smooth and detailed picture Alan.
However, I must disagree with Roland and Peter about the "ringing" at the following(?)limb. It may be the LCD screen, but I can see it quite clearly. It really seems that most of the images I see this year are affected by this "double edge" problem. I've read the very useful explanation you gave about this being an unsharp mask's effect, but it seems to be a trade off everybody has to make to increase contrast of the relevant parts of the planet.

Ciao Alan and I hope the good seeing stays with you a while so you can give us some more of those NASA pics

Ciao

PS the weather here has been pitiful since late last week and it'll stay like this for some more days :C. The day of the partial solar eclipse, it rained so hard that my basement got flooded :C :C :C :C

That is one sweet image!

Hi Alan,
Now, that is a beautiful image. Paint drips sounds better than Gomer Sinus. But, as you say, good for focusing and to use for processing as well. I really like the detail and the color as well. Congratulations!
