Hi guys,
Thanks. Its been a good summer so far. Next time i see that hemisphere Mars will be 20", so i can only hope for a few more steady nights near the closest approach. The late Autumn weather can be decidedly variable though.
Most of the processing is done in Registax 3 (frame averaging and sharpening.) i used photoshop and PSP for colour balancing/resampling. They are RGB filtered images using a couple of thousand frames per image.
After so many nights imaging Mars already ive had tons of pratice getting back into imaging the Red Planet. Its really tough to get a good colour balance which has taken some head scratching!. The real G filter image is actually quite important to producing the best possible colour balance.
If i get lucky again, and shall post some more
. Its great to see so many people making the effort on the early morning Mars...it has been an exercise in sleep deprevation.. 8O
Best Wishes
Damian
