Hi Jim -

These are beautifully done! I would love to get to look through that 10" someday. Is there a picture of it somewhere?

Mars on September 24

Hi Anthony -

Very nice image and one of the few I've gotten to see from the PGR cameras. For those (handful) of Mac users out there, the very fine capture application Astro IIDC (also a product from our neighbors to the north) supports most of the Point Grey Research cameras.

Thanks for posting,
Alan

Inside Tycho

Posted By Alan Friedman
Mike - That is pretty spectacular as is! I had imaged Tycho at a similar sun angle last lunation but never finished working on it. Think I'll let it sit a while longer!!

Lovely work -

Sorry again a Mars of 21 sept

Not late at all, Jan - we are seeing mars rotation from all over the globe each day, a wonder of the internet. This is right on time and very nicely done!

Hi Paul -

These are excellent and the color looks very good to me - maybe just a touch to strong in the blue on my monitor, but certainly a great session.

Moretus in shadow

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Mike -

That is beautiful! Even reduced a little, at this size the seeing takes no prisoners. Still there are details displayed that are just hinted at in my image.

Are you in a part of Ontario somewhere near to Buffalo? I wonder how often you experience seeing that is better than 6/10. With the effects from Lake Erie here, conditions that are kind to a long focal length are very rare indeed!

best,
Alan
