Mars animation 02/10/2020

[multiweb (Marc)]

Here's a Mars loop from last Friday night with the CN-212 and ASI462MC. Seeing wasn't very good at all so I can't sharpen this too much. I think I might have blown the highlights a bit. I kept the histogram between 80% and 90% for the red and that's probably too much. Quite close to the moon too so I don't think the blues like this either.

Plenty of frames. I stacked 50% of the 45000 or so that I collect in 3min.
Spoilt for choice but it took ages to stack though.

Thanks mate.

Here's Jupiter from the same night. A bit soft so definitely seeing.

Good stuff again, the seeing was shifty and soft that night .

Thanks Jeff. Yes it was a little disappointing but it was clear otherwise and a great night. Raining now but it's not going anywhere any time soon so plenty more opportunities in the coming days hopefully if the weather plays ball.
