First attempt at Mars
The wind was blowing a gale and it was bouncing all over the place, but for a first effort at this planet I'm reasonably happy.
Hoping to get better in more moderate seeing conditions. I'll need to get better at combining the RGB channels. Finding the planet has the correct color, but the poles have the wrong color cast from different channels bleeding over. If I was *only going to do Planetary, I would have gotten a OSC, but this is also going to be my guidecam when I get good enough to play with that stuff too.
2:20am, Weds 18
R 5.9ms
G 3.3ms
B 32.4ms
All at gain 200 on an ASI 290
RC10 with Powermate 2x
Sorry I can't remember how long the actual sequences themselves were. Most likely 120 or 180 seconds.
Any comments or suggestions welcome (other than, uh, try shooting in better seeing conditions, when there's not a dust storm on Mars, or when it's not blowing a gale!!)
Thanks guys.
Markus
