Yet another Clavius at High Res

Hello,

Since everyone else is posting theirs, here is my best high magnification image of Clavius to date. I just wished I had caught all of it.

Mars - DMK21F04

Posted By Kirk Vanden
Hello,


I thought I would try some RGB imaging of Mars this season. I tested out the DMK 21F04 monochrome camera last night, and although seeing was not very good, I finally got some nice frames about 4:00 AM. The results looks encouraging, so I will give filters a shot next time I observe.


Meade 12 inch SCT, 3X Televue barlow, Optec TCF-S. Best 490 frames out of 1,700 stacked with RegiStax

Hello Robert,



Nice image. Did you use a color Lu075, or did you use RGB filters with the monochrome version?

Apennine Mountains

Posted By Kirk Vanden
Hello,


I shot this on August 13th. It shows the Apennine Mountains and Hadley Rille. This was the best 500 frames out of 3,000 stacked in Registax. Meade 12 SCT, f/10, and DMK 21F04. Seeing was not very good this evening so I used multiple alignment points and pieced it back together.
