Doesnt-of course -look anything like the stunning images videoguy, Bird, Mike and others are posting. Come to think of it doesnt even look like the same object! Still it is my first try at imaging Mars and you have to start somewhere
this was imaged in the early hours of Monday morning with the 8 inch Newt
tried with a 2x barlow, then a 3x Barlow and finally stacked the two barlows
took about 1000 odd frames and stacked in Registax not much other processing
the 3 x barlow seemed to give best results. Didnt use an IR filter, will try one next time.
the colours are completely different from what these expert planetary imagers are getting
but I'm not sure why
well, at least I tried
