Excellent processing and detail for the seeing Ed! I have yet to get my lazy butt out of bed to image this planet :S

-cheers

Mike
Ed your skills have grown hugely in the past months are you ever going to move to another camera such as the DMK or Lumenera?

One step closer to my Baja observatory

I think you can make out the pacific ocean 65 km to the SW.

First Ever Mars, First with new scope

Posted By Mike Wirths
Hi Gregory,

Excellent image detail for a 1st try! A bit of blue fringe, maybe that could be corrected by realigning the separate RGB images?
Great scope too, wink but then I'm biased 8)

thanks for posting

Jupiter, Feb 11

Anthony, gorgeous shot! Best Jupiter image so far this season (not that us northerners are going to really have a Jupiter season!) A very natural processing job, superb!

My apologies to Registax and Lumenera users!

Hi Luca,

I would'nt worry too much about it, we all know you had the best intentions, Cor just e-mailed me about it today. It was worth a shot right wink I think the key will be in using 12 bit FITS files from Spix, since Cor is heavy into revision for the new version I'm sure he will try to accomodate us! Damian was'nt even so sure (neither am I)that a 12 bit fit will make a noticable difference, but he said he will try to do a careful test and post the results... so we will wait and see! Perhaps Paolo L can know for sure about the PNG files.

Eventually a decent Saturn!

Hey Luca, a very good image!! I have yet to get my 1st Saturn too! Cold -15-20 weather isn't helping either!


thanks

More Saturn Storm

A SUPERB image Jim! Perfect colour and proessing to my eye! AND the storm too boot. Speaking of which I'm glad you made it back home though that terrestrial snow storm!

Jupiters going to be useless to image from high latitudes for a few years! cwy
