Thursdays Mars

Hello all,

John Kazanas & I got together on Thursday morning for a camera comparison on imaging Mars.

We'll post some results soon, but in the mean time I've attached an R image and a R(G)B image from the ASI 120mm camera.

We used John's 12.5" f/5 Newt with barlows to give similar image scales on both cameras - mine was at f/25 or so. (John uses a Luminera Skynyx)

Seeing wasn't great, but I think that the result was quite acceptable for an 8.1" Mars.

A big 'thank you' to John for his hospitality - hopefully we will repeat the same comparison from my place using Mark Samson's C14 soon.

cheers
Maurice Valimberti
