Mars using Sony Handicam

Hi Mike, you did a great job considering everthing. It looks like one or two images didn't get aligned properly though. Other than that, good work.

Nice first image Joe. Next time you check your collmination try using a dimmer star than Vega. On a 5" OTA I think a magnitude 2 or 3 star is more ideal. And yes the OTA tempreture is critical for optimum resolution. With the detail you are already getting you should notice a great improvement when your optic are aligned and at the outside temp. I'm looking foward to seeing your next image.

No need for any e-mails to re-work an image. I like the more natural look.

First Mars with a Borrowed ToUcam

Those are great images Ed. I think the more you do anything the better its going to turn out. Your image techniques are getting better and your image processing is getting better because you are doing more and more. Some of the images that are posted here are from people that have been doing this stuff a long time. Keep up the good work!
