Mars f25 11/9/09 RGB 2x Resize

After achieving my best collimation earlier in the evening, I woke up to 3/5 seeing & 4/5 transparency. I took the following DMK f25 data:
R: 60fps, 1/60s, 850gain, 2'
G: 60fps, 1/60s, 950gain, 2'
B: 30fps, 1/30s, 1023gain, 3'
Pre-aligned in ninox, best 800 frames stacked in Reg5 at 2.0 resample. RGB + L (Red again) combined in Images Plus.

Elysium Mons is visible in middle of image. Collimating to the star focus vs defocused rings makes a big difference.

Regards,
Steve
