2.8 fps??

Posted By Chase McNiss

To all who responded,

Wanted to extend my thanks to those who responded to my fps concerns. Your help and suggestion got me the information I neded to take my new computer back to the vendor after determining that the HDD was defective. I have since come home with another unit and it is working great. grin
No dropped frames when using K3CCD and the benchmark test of the HDD shows it to be right in spec with the manfacturer's specifications.

Of course we are looking at less than perfect weather the rest of the week. It's not like I bought a new scope but I guess Murphy's law for astronomers doesn't care what the equipment is, your just going to have to wait before you and go out and play.

Thanks again,

Comparing mars over 56 million kilometers

Alan,

Great comparison of the size but it's also interesting to see the changes in the North and South poles over that period of time.

Nice work! smile

Mars 10-31-05

Jim,

Thanks. Here is a second attempt at processing a session from the same morning.

This image started with 2320 frames and a final stack using 320 frames. Seeing was rather poor 3/10, with plenty of blurred frames.

Same equipment and processing used for my first image except this one was upsampled to increase scale.

Mars 11/01 - Bad seeing

Posted By Chase McNiss

Peter,

I think your image looks great. Whatever you did to compensate worked quite well. Can't wait to see one of your images when the seeing is good.

I thought the TV102 was a doublet.

Lambert, a ghost crater and Copernican ejecta

Mike,

Woderful image. I am impressed with the photographic quality of your images and their smooth quality and total range. I am sure seeing helps, but your processing is impressive.

Could you explain what you mean by processing points?

Keep them coming.
