First Mars with the ASI290MM

Probably second best RGB from last night. One minute per channel.
Given the 45 degrees altitude, I don't think I can do much better than this, although I can try better processing.

Great shot Stefan.
Similar shapes to what I got. Seeing wasn't the best. Processing is hard yakka.

Thanks for the comments. I always try to match the visual appearance, with the processing. That means one needs to stare at the image for a while to see the subtle details, just like at the eyepiece.

The old DIY 16" Dall-Kirkham, at prime focus. It is in bad need for a primary recoat.

Added a version with more contrast that should compensate for the foggy primary.

Very nice Stefan
Are you finding the 290 a big improvement over the 120?

It's amazing. The stuff you build delivers such outstanding results. I hope you never become a Marvel or DC Supervillain or the world will be doomed.

Thanks Andy,
This was a 3 minute capture and I'm still sitting on a 9 minute RGB set that I will process when I'll have more time.

Thanks Colin,
Definitely yes. This is my 5th generation planetary cam. First one was a DIY one, back in the late 90s.

Do not worry. Lately I've been thinking that I should replace the 16" optics in the old D-K with 14". I think a 14" better suits the seeing here. Also when I did the figuring of the 16", I did not use an interferometer, because I did not have one. I should be able to make a better primary now, and also reduce the thermal mass in the mirror box.

Finally finished processing the best RGB set from the night. This spans about 10 minutes and it was derotated with WinJupos.

The newly processed image is a beauty, very smooth and detailed. Possibly the best I've seen this season.
