timthelder 225 Report post Posted December 14, 2022 Well, last night was my first clear night since Nov. 23rd. So I damn sure took advantage of it. Mars from last nights session. I use a Celestron C9.25 SCT. Baader LRGB filters. 2.5x Telvue Powermate For this image I used the Celestron Skyris cam, (I have several different cams.) Aligned and stacked in ASi!2, sharpened in Registax V6, very minimal processing in PS CS2. I really feel I have done all I can do with this aperture. At least from my locale. I need a lottery upgrade sometime in my future. Tim. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radar 711 Report post Posted December 18, 2022 Still a great effort mate. Features are easily discernable. Is that Olympus Mons at the top? Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timthelder 225 Report post Posted December 30, 2022 Still chipping away. Here is a couple from 12/28 or 28/12 depending on one's preference. Same set up, a little better seeing me thinks. RGB 685nm bandwidth. RGB 742nm bandwidth. Cheers, Tim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radar 711 Report post Posted January 2 Geesuz Tim, nice work. The geography is really clear to see (including the polar regions). Ray 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timthelder 225 Report post Posted January 3 My last still images of Mars. A New Years Mars, captured 01/01/23, about 8:45pm (-6 UT). We're steadily pulling away, as I noticed my capture settings have slightly increased. I was lucky to have had this one window of opportunity. Weather. Currently 70F and rain. One week ago, -5F with a 20F degree wind chill and snow. Anyhoo... RGB 742nm bandwidth. Cheers, Tim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
