Mars - DMK21F04

Hello,


I thought I would try some RGB imaging of Mars this season. I tested out the DMK 21F04 monochrome camera last night, and although seeing was not very good, I finally got some nice frames about 4:00 AM. The results looks encouraging, so I will give filters a shot next time I observe.


Meade 12 inch SCT, 3X Televue barlow, Optec TCF-S. Best 490 frames out of 1,700 stacked with RegiStax

Hi Kirk,

A very nice image with terrific details and superb processing. I'll be looking forward to a RGB image from you next time.

Clear skies,

Hi Kirk -

That is a very fine monochrome image - was it unfiltered? When the seeing cooperates RGB images from the new high resolution B&W cameras should gives us finer views than 2 years ago - I think.
