Mars, October 21, improving

Like mike I found the seeing was pretty good this morning. Mars is still a hard target due to the low altitude - this image was taken with mars at 31 degrees.

For something different I used my Dragonfly2 camera, but all settings were very similar to before.

Scope: www.acquerra.com.au/astro/lexx.html
capture:

- red channel: 150 seconds @ 40fps, 80% gain
- green channel: 50 seconds @ 40fps, 100% gain
- blue channel: 50 seconds @ 40fps, 100% gain

Stacked about 2500 frames in red and 1000 in each of green and blue. Frames were resampled to 150% size before processing.

Seeing was fair, sometimes maybe 7/10.

regards, Bird
