Mars using Dave's Technique

Hello All,
One of the great things about this group is getting to know great imagers around the world. I was e-mailing Dave Tyler in England about imaging and he mentioned combining a monochrome with a color image to get the detail of the monochrome with color. I did not know how to do this and Dave kindly e-mailed me instructions. As it turns out I had two images of Mars taken with monochrome and color Atik cameras from September 21 with my TMB 10". The time of each image is close but there is not a perfect fit. Still, I like the results and thought I would post FYI.

Hi Jim -

Very nice - and welcome to the world of LRGB imaging! You will really enjoy this technique and stay nice and slim doing the fast dance of swapping cameras.

cheers -
Alan

Looks like that worked out pretty well Jim. Mars rotates slowly enough that you have time for both colour and monochrome runs, so make the most of it!
