Mars in IR (Infinity camera)

Ok,

heres my Mars from this am, shot in IR passband (685nm) using my 18" Starmaster dob. This time I shot it in true 12 bit mode and processed it for the 1st time using Iris but I processed it in IP. Stack of 500. Resized 20% Seeing was 5-6/10 at times. Filter wheel is on its way!

cheers

Hi Mike -

Great detail shown here - I look forward to seeing your RGB images through the big Starmaster!

Nice image Mike!

I've just started using the 12 bit mode on my new camera as well, and boy does it make a difference! I'm used to grainy, noisy 8-bit images, and when I switch to 12 bit the noise just...goes...away...

I bet you'll never go back to 8 bit.

The hardest part is finding software that can handle it without wanting to downconvert it back to 8 bit.

Hello Mike,


Awesome image. Do you have the 2-1 or 2-2 model of Infinity? Just curious as to if one was more sensitive than the other.

Very nice. Love the detail and image scale.
