Here is Mars taken this morning under good seeing. I'm going to try and reprocess later to try and get rid of the brightened limb, but I'll probably be unsuccessful. :S

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/58, ToUcam 840 w/IR block Filter, seeing 6/10, frames= 894/1800 @ 10fps, 8:29 UT.

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Really a superb shot Ed!! I don't know either how to maintain detail and avoid the edge, probably as Alan mentions the use of mask tools in PS but I'm too much of a software inept person to learn!!


well done!!

Mike
