Mars June 13, 2005

Hi all,

Here is an image I shot of Mars on June 13, 2005. The first image was shot in normal colour with the NIRB filter. The second was shot in B&W with a 610nm Longpass filter, the third with a Wratten #80a filter. I do not know what wavelength the #80 filter centers on. The split in the SPC shows quite clearly, and there does not appear to be any large clouds.

Hi Paul,

Very nice images, interesting comparison I have wondered about using the IR pass filter to steady the seeing for Mars, an IR cut filter helps out
with focusing and blue channel bleed over.

Thnaks,

Really beautiful Paul!! I'll have to get my lazy a@# out of bed one of these mornings to catch it!
Its gonna get pretty awsome (barring a you know what storm!)
