Mars March 26th UT in pretty ordinary seeing.

Hi All,

Well , reckon it is the test of planetary imaging to take the good with the bad. Imaged Mars last night in variable seeing, sort of swinging between bad and worst but the 807nm IR data stood up fairly well in spite of the conditions.

Have attached 1 RGB & 807nm IR data set along with animations of the 3 RGB's I was able to rescue and all 5 IR's.

Had a look at Saturn later on but it resembled a flag more than a planet so gave it a miss.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor

I reckon that's the right attitude Trevor. Thanks for posting regardless.

Overall still a worthwhile result, in my opinion. And the animations let the brain pick out even more detail. Something about the way our retina/brain handles moving objects.

really good going in the conditions Trevor. regards Ray

One thing you can count on is Mars supplying a good result in average seeing. Saturn nope. Needs good seeing at this stage of the apparition. Just playing with the concept of purposeful undersampling & drizzling right now Trevor on Saturn. This way I can get to 60FPS with lots of frames as well as employing the concept of alleviating bad seeing by shooting a smaller than normal F ratio. We'll see how that works out; or not. I love experimenting ;):)

Nice work Trevor :)
The detail is still good!
