Mars at March DSC

[MarkS]

Here is Mars from the last DSC - Sat 24 March 2012.

Celestron C11 with Imaging Source DBK 21AU04.AS Colour Camera and Mike's TeleVue x3 adapter (thanks Mike!).

1800 frames at 7 frames/sec processed in Registax.  The seeing was OK but not particularly good.

Looks OK to me Mark - Strange artifact down RHS though...

[Mike]

That's came out really nicely. Loads of detail on there.

Yep nice image but I can see  weird stuff as well - a double halo, the outer one is less prominent on the left.

Something about this laptop that shows up the unintended.
Must calibrate the monitor.

Very nice Mark, it looks almost 3D

At a frame rate of 1/7th per second I'm surprised you got it that clear, well done.

Here's one I did earlier...  I should do some planetary again some time.

Yep nice image but I can see  weird stuff as well - a double halo, the outer one is less prominent on the left.

The halo is a deconvolution artifact

Can't remember the settings though.
