Hi all,

I had some good seeing conditions this morning, just like the CSC predicted for a change. smile It's the most detailed image of Mars I've captured so far. grin

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/60, ToUcam 840 w/IR block filter, Seeing 6-7/10, Frames= 730/1800 @ 10fps, 9:33UT.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Hi everyone,

I reprocessed the image using some selective sharpening(Thanks Alan) and resized it 110%. I think it looks better, but I would like to hear everyones opinion on it.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Hi Ed,

Great image, the CSC seeing predictions are not often accurate for me either.

Thanks,
