Mars October 3, 2005

Hi all,

Here is Mars from this morning under superb conditions. I believe it's my most detailed image of Mars to date.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/57.5, ToUcam 840 w/IR block, Seeing 7-9/10, Transparency 2/5(fog), Frames= 1330/2250 @ 10fps, Taken 7:33 UT.

Thanks,

This is a great image. Excellent scale as well. I only hope I can get one this good the entire season.

Hi all,

I wasn't happy with the look of the first image so I reprocessed it using only wavelets, levels, curves, color correction & noise reduction. I think it has a more natural look to it now. Too bad the limb artifacts are still haunting me. :S

Thanks
