Hi guys.
Finally had a clear morning, and while waiting for Mercury to rise, I had a shot at Mars.
Unfortunately the seeing was shocking, 3/10. But not to be deterred, you know me
Details:
- 10" dob with ToUcam
- 5th May 2005, 4:55am
- Focal lengths shown in the image
- 10 fps
- Smaller shots, 1/33s 0 gain. Larger shots, 1/25s 15% gain
Most of the shots below are a stack of between 3 and 10 frames, out of 500-900 frames. That's right! After choosing an alignment frame that wasn't blurry due to bad seeing, at 95% quality it only found 3 or so frames worth stacking.
I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out, despite the bad seeing. It's a big step up from my previous attempt of Mars on the 15/03/2005, which were resampled 2x up.
Comments welcome.
