I have been saving a nice pile of video taken in during the August lunation of Plato and the surrounding regions to keep me busy during our long Buffalo winter. A recent foot of snow encouraged me to get started - this is the first of the batch.

The project of assembling a large mosaic should take me a long time. The seeing was mostly fair but good at times. I wound up processing this more than I would have liked.

Captured with the 10" mak and DMK21BF04 webcam - 256 frames selected from 900.

best -

Hi,

For the last three years myself and a few other people have touted the advantages of imaging at high frames per second and now it looks like some pros are trying it although I think they could have come up with a better name than lucky imaging with a luckycamera , see link below

Not the best seeing in the world, and I normally shoot the planets with my C-11, but I took a shot of Saturn with the 5" APO. 2 minute video, 1200 frames, 5X Powermate.

Hi all,

Here is a link to two images that are baffling me. They are images of Deimos I got on the evening of December 19, 2005 (early a.m. UT...times on the images). Deimos shows up nicely, but there are two additional stars in the field that I cannot account for. The Starry Nite representations show stars to magnitude 16 and none are in the places. Phobos was too close to Mars to be seen. Does anyone else have another chart that they can look at and see if Starry Nite is missing a couple of stars? Comparing them to Deimos, the stars would be about 12th mag. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the images.

Thanks!!!
