Hi Steve, Your Mars images this season have been very impressive, including this one, congratulations!!! The C11's collimation looks perfect to me, and your new barlow appears to be a good one based on this excellent Mars composite. Have a great day, Dan grin

PS: I've been off-line since mid-June, hope too be imaging soon. I broke my computer and have been waiting for Windows 7 results (they're all good), before purchasing a new Laptop.

Hi Freddy, great work! That's the highest res shot you've ever posted, congrats! This is the sharpest NPC image around, thanks for the time and effort. It appears the cap is evaporating quickly and/or dust is shooting up through it, based on your composite.
I tried imaging this morning, but there was too much motion in the atmosphere. Regards, Dan wink

Hi Freddy:

That's a great Mars composite! Keep working on it, you might be able to pull out even more detail and try a 150 - 200% additional resize, I think Mars can handle it.

Cheers, Dan grin

Good work, Jason!! I'm planning on purchasing some Baader Astrofilm, I here it's cheap and works better than our Orion filters. Plus you can put the left over pieces on your finder and binoculars and even make a pair of cool solar glasses! Cheers, Dan grin

Wow! Excellent composites, Jason! I couldn't even come close to your shots from over here in Chiefland, Mars and Saturn were just blurs, and tonight is about the same, I'm looking through my 12" SCT at Mars right now. We should get some good seeing tomorrow night or Thursday evening, I hope? Regards, Dan 8)

Excellent Mars, Charles! All of the color channels are coming through load and clear, but where are the Martian canals? wink Hope you have more good seeing in February, I've enjoyed your Mars composites this apparition. Next time out capture Saturn as well. Regards, Dan grin

Frozen Mars

Hi Al:

Your color balance is consistantly the most accurate around!
Nine degrees, it must have felt like you were standing on Mars instead of imaging it. 8O

Clear skies, Dan 8)
