farewell Mars
Got in a short RGB imaging run on Mars between clouds last night. Placed the image in a montage with the odd few similar scale images I got from Jan-Mar for a size comparison. It sure is getting much smaller as we leave it behind.
The seeing was ordinary, but surprisingly there was just enough recognisable detail in the red channel to allow a rough guess at how the image should be aligned in the montage - the green and blue channels were almost completely sandblasted by the jetstream though. Seeing has been a problem all along with this low elevation apparition.
Imaged with GSO f4 8inch on HEQ5pro, stacked Barlows with extension, RGB filters, DMK21, Registax/IRIS/GIMP2 processing.
Thanks for looking.
