Mars and Saturn 25th Jan 06
Here is a complilation of what was the best shots of the night.
It was an beautiful clear night between the clouds ( seeing 8/10 ) I took advantage of my freshly collimated scope and got what are the best pics I've taken so far.
I swear I can see a little of the polar cap on Mars.
A question of magnification.
The scope is f5 and I used
a 10mm ep with a 2x barlow = 250x
This image I magnified 8 times with the optical zoom in the camera. Does that mean I was working at 258x or 2000x? Ridiculous! Will someone please help a button brained girly sort out her magnifications.
