Hi Oliver -

Nice first effort with the fire-I. The color looks very good. I am not sure I understand your process fully - but I think you might want to collect your RGB data over a shorter time period. Mars is bright enough now for me to use 30fps with my 10" taking about 4 minutes for me to switch filters and collect 800-1000 frames each IR, R,G,B.

best,
Alan

Hi Mike -

Nice to see some new fine lunar images from you.
Why is it that seeing in the summer has to be stinko?! Don't we pay our dues over the winter???

Maximum useful barlow magnification

David -

It should be just fine - especially so for the planets in good seeing.
