Infinity 2-2 1st light-Mars

Hi all,

Got a very short window to play with my new 1616X1216 Infinity 2-2 made by Lumenera. Trtansparency sucked and there were lots of high clouds, seeing was not good as the CSC predicted. I got one ok sequence shot before clouds rolled in for good, it was a short sequence with only 890 frames of which 200 were used in the stack. Seeing was 4-6/10. 5X's powermate and a IR passband filter, 18" Starmaster. Can't wait to try it on the moon in a little while!!

cheers

Oh very nice Mike. And, given the conditions, I do mean VERY nice.

Mike,

Looks very good to me, just think how good it will look under better conditions. Can't wait to see more.

Judging by the conditions at the moment of this shot, I would say you've done great! Keep it up Mike, and don't give up!

Great work Mike! With an image like that with you just getting used to the camera, I'm sure were in for some fantastic ones.

Clear skies,

Hello Mike,


Great image. Can't wait to see it when you use RGB filters.

Hi MIke -

Very nice result - it is very hard to coax subtle details from the Martian surface unless the air is very still - you did a fine job.

Hi Mike,

Very! impressive image, is this an 8bit image, with the very small pixels of the 2-2 I'm guessing this is the actual image size, I really look forward to seeing some lunar images form your 2-2.
The last time I was out imaging (09/08/05) I put my back out of whack and I'm not sure how long it will be before I can start imaging again, I've done this before and it took about 10 days to get going again.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
