Mars 11/20 - More bad seeing

Yet another week of bad seeing due to the warm winds blowing from the Santa Ana mountain range. I was able to get a reasonable focus at 200x in the eyepiece, so took a bunch of AVI's just in case. It's a little over-processed, but the image scale hides most of that :-).

Details:
11/20/2005, 10:40pm PST
Philips ToUcam Pro II, 1/33s, 10fps
10" Meade LX200 GPS, Alt/Az
3x Meade TeleXtender, UV/IR block
800/1800 frames (approx)

Align, stack, wavelet & gamma processing in Registax 3. Crop and orient and final tweaks in MS digital image suite.

Thanks for looking.

Peter
