Mars 10/26/05

I think you've still got the mars touch, Wes smile

A fine color rendition, beautifully processed - it shows the dust activity very well as a golden swath from Chryse southward.

Stunning images, Richard. Thanks for including both orientations - I have a very hard time appreciating the details captured in North up images.

Just beautiful, Johannes - and a very nice atmospheric aspect using the IR, well done!

Europe may have missed the start of the dust activity, but I think you are scooping up all the good seeing... 8)

Mars dust storm 10/29/2005

Posted By Alan Friedman
That's an excellent image, Peter.

The settings look very good to me - the color is right on and the dust storm does not appear to have saturated the pixels in this version. It is a very bright active region judging from the images I've seen over the last two days.

Mars 11.04 @30fps

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Chris -

Congratulations on your new camera - the results look great.

I think with mars at its current brightness 30fps is probably best with your 11". I use both 15 and 30 with my DMK camera, depending on the subject brightness and the seeing conditions and have gotten decent results either way. You need more good frames to stack at 30fps than at 15fps. Saturn will be a more interesting test because it is much dimmer. When your seeing conditions are very stable you might find that 15 fps is the optimum setting.

best,
Alan
