Yes the 10,000 frames was taken at 120 fps. It equates to around 1.5 mins to capture this amount. I only recently acquired the skyris camera so was eager to try it out on Mars with the very high fps.

I actually ran some shorter captures with 5000 to 6000 frames but the results were very similar. The one thing I should have done was to shrink the photo a little before I uploaded it. It helps reduce the pixelation a little. My Jupiter photos seem to come out a little grainy too but I think it's because the seeing conditions was not that good when I've been capturing it.

I think the 5 x powermate may have just been a little too much for my telescope but hopefully when I can get my new Barlow I'll hopefully get some smoother images. Overall though I'm quite happy with the photo and my friends are quite impressed by it. I also took this in the suburbs of Brisbane where I still had some street lights to contend with too.
