Mars August 27, 2005

Hi all,

Here is Mars from Saturday morning. It's my best of the season so far under good seeing. The overbrightened limb is giving me a lot of trouble and I think it's mostly due to my heavy hand on the sharpening filters. :S

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/60, ToUcam 840, IR block filter, seeing 6/10, frames= 452/1812 @ 10fps, taken at 9:08 UT.

Thanks,
Ed Roach
