Morning Mars June 23 2005

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

The seeing was a little better(6/10) for this image than my first Mars this season, looking back at that one it was pretty bad smile .
It was well into daylight when I took this image (enough light to read by)but the Lumenera had enough sensitivity to keep the gain low for a dark back ground and still have a bright image.
I used the ROI (region of interest) for the first time which allowed a frame rate of 77fps.

Lumenera LUO75C camera, 77fps, stack of 614 frames from 7000.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Aristoteles 06-26-05

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

With the Moon doing the Limbo now (how low can you go) it's been difficult to get any good lunar images lately, at times I had fairly good seeing this morning (06-26-05) and took this image of Aristoteles, more to follow.

18" Starmaster, DMK-21f04 camera, IR pass filter, 30FPS, stack of 684 frames from 1975.

Thanks,

Plato June 26 2005

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

The very popular crater Plato, not as many craterlets visible as my December image due to seeing and lighting conditions but for 36 degrees altitude I guess it turned out okay.

DMK 21F04 camera, IR pass filter,30FPS, stack of 646/1950 frames .

Thanks,

ISS 06-29-05

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is the first ISS image I have taken with the 18" and I miss judged the exposure
setting (with my 14" I knew better how to set the exposure), when hand guiding like I do you have to get the exposure correct before you start because you sure can't do it on the fly smile
There will be another good pass tomorrow evening (07/01/05) I will try again then.

18" Starmaster, DMK-21FO4 camera at prime focus of the scope, 30FPS, one single frame.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
