thanks bird for a great image.
must get tracking made, tested and sorted out and maybe just maybe a 5x by the end of the month

Tracking is seriously important for high res imaging, even though I know Mike is the master at dob-based imaging he will be limited by the blur as the image moves while being exposed in each frame.
To see the fine details requires that mars stays still during each frame of exposure, I spend a lot of time each night getting tracking good enough that I can go inside and make a cuppa and come back out 20 minutes later and still have mars on the ccd :-)
