Mars April 23rd good seeing
SPX350 F39.1, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters
Seeing varied from good to vgood but a breeze bounced the planet around. I just started captures and went for it as seeing looked so good - Mars left the scene a few times in a few sets but only briefly, things steadied and the breeze eventually subsided. Strange how Olympus Mons is not visible in preview until after it crosses the martian meridian then it shines stronger.
I took RGB's back to back with 5 sets and combined the 2 best sets for the final image. I put together a gif of the RGB's and a gif of the red channel.
Mars RGB-1131hrs UT 2 sets
Mars GIF RGB-1107-1145hrs UT
Mars GIF red-1104-1142hrs UT.
Thanks, John.
