Mars in good seeing

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Ed,

Great image, the CSC seeing predictions are not often accurate for me either.

Thanks,

Mars RGB Imaging - DMK 21f04

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Kirk,

Very good results from your first RGB image, that camera and scope combination are going to be great when you get better seeing.
How many frames for each color and capture length ?, if I remember correctly you are imaging in Alt/Az (so am I), is it hard to get in enough frames for each color before field rotation or Mars planet rotation sets in.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Infinity 2-2 1st light-Mars

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Mike,

Very! impressive image, is this an 8bit image, with the very small pixels of the 2-2 I'm guessing this is the actual image size, I really look forward to seeing some lunar images form your 2-2.
The last time I was out imaging (09/08/05) I put my back out of whack and I'm not sure how long it will be before I can start imaging again, I've done this before and it took about 10 days to get going again.

Thanks,

Mars on the 12th with a cardboard telescope

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Steve,

Great image, good color and processing, If I remember correctly you re-figured the primary of the 13" Coulter your self, you obviously did an excellent job.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
