Hi guys.
Even though I was very tired the other night after 16 hours at work that day, the sky was clear for the first time in 6 days so I had to take advantage of it.
Here's my Mars efforts from that night, I got about 10 avi's but really only one of them had acceptable seeing and produced a decent result. The seeing fluctuated quite a bit, but never really got in the (what I'd consider) "good" range.
The 6 images are processed in the following way:
Top Row:
- Left column: Registax wavelets only
- Middle column: = left column + ME deconvolution in AstraImage + Colour Balance fixing in photoshop
- Right column: = left column + colour balance fixing + unsharp mask in photoshop
Bottom Row:
- Same as top row, except the whole row processed in NeatImage for sharpen + noise reduction.
I'm not sure which I prefer the most, probably the middle or right images on the bottom row.
I had intentions of getting up at 3am to image Saturn this morning, but I must've turned the alarm off in my sleep because I woke up at 6:30am and had to deal with peak hour traffic and no parking at work :grumble:
Comments welcome.
