Mars focus issues

Posted By Dan Petersen
Hi Jeff:

Don't give up that's the main thing! I also can not get a sharp image of Mars this apparition? The US is under a very active Jetstream this winter, I think it's contributing to most of the problems we're having, and don't rule out Global Warming, that might be causing our images to blur? If there even is such a thing? wink

Cheers from the WSP, Dan grin

Just spectacular work, Stefan! Huge image scale and a real joy to view. It looks like the results from a 20" scope instead of a ten. regards, Dan

Steve, that's still a good composite showing plenty of color and contrast. When I was observing Saturn Friday evening I noticed that the globe this apparition shows very little visible banding and what is there is quite washed out, and that was with seeing so good Titan's orange color and small disk could be observed. regards, Dan grin

Steve, good surface detail and look at all the morning fog around those Vulcanos, excellent capture! The Red Planets altitude this apparition is what's producing the sharp views. Take it easy, Dan 8)

Hi Paul, that's a great capture of the STrZ storm! What is your secret to recording so much detail... seeing or equipment? Can you post a picture of your setup? cheers, Dan 8)

Ptolemaeus to Deslandres

Hi Stefan, that resolution and contrast would be good for a 40" scope! What type of green filter are you using and what does Focus Magic add or subtract from the composite? Regards, Dan grin
