Mars September 22, 2005

Hi all,

Here are my images from September 22. I think they are my best Mars images yet. I am using the Lumenera almost exclusively for Mars now. I'm not sure about the excess of green in the image. Seems I get a signficant green reading in the Lum even when it is totally covered and the green gain set to it's lowest value. We'll have to see how that pans out.

Wow Paul, the 5x Powermate appears to be a perfect match with your Mewlon & Lumenera! That does appear to be your best Mars image this apparition. I really like the image scale on that one. I bet you were happy when you processed it. grin

Clear skies,

Oh man. I love it. The blue haze at the NP area is gorgeous. MY images actually are a bit greenish. I use the Atik camera. I have an infinity coming. This is a superb image Paul. Congratulations!

Hi Paul -

These are excellent and the color looks very good to me - maybe just a touch to strong in the blue on my monitor, but certainly a great session.

Paul,

I have been closely following your progress with the Mewlon and I agree that this is your best image. Your really beginning to get everything dialed in.
Nice job!
