Mars / Saturn from 25 May qhy163m

hi all,

here are some snaps from friday night.

i wasn't planning on planetary but was having issues with my main setup.

these were taken with a qhy163 mono, i dont have a filter wheel but use a filter draw, so i was manually changing filters in the true sense. i also couldn't attach my 5x powermate to the qhy163 but managed to get a 2" 2x barlow to attach. i was playing around with the settings quite a bit, but mostly i believe fps were 90-130 depending on the ROI setting.

these were taken in sharp cap (fire capture packed it in on the night

i tried winjupos on a couple of these, it introduced issues on the edging, i guess i didnt have it lined up properly in the settings.

anyway, i missed jupiter (behind the trees) by the time i got it working which is unfortunate as in the eyepiece it looked amazing.

well i dont think i need a dedicated planetary cam for the mars opposition looks like the qhy163 goes ok. definitely my best saturn / mars pics. so pretty happy.

cheers

Nice efforts Russell, try reducing LD value at WinJUPOS derotation step.. 0.90 works well for me (suppressing dark limb artefacts).

Rgds,
Seb

Rgds,
Seb
thanks very much for the tip Seb, i greatly appreciate it.

I had another go at Mars (you are right my LD value was at 1.00) and lowering fixed the limb pixels

Here is a quick reprocess (and i added some extra sharpening now i didn't have weird pixelation). not sure if i pushed it a bit far or not - but it feels better.
