My latest and greats image of mars

Hi all

Here is my latest image of Mars taken on the morning of the 22th of November.
Took the advise about not being "Gain" shy. This image is a stacked of 4000 from a 10000 image Av file. Frame rate was about 37fps.

Lumenera LU075Colour, 10” f10 Meade LX200 Classic, 5x Barlow. 11122 frames
with StreamPix @37fps, Stacked and processed with Registax, Astra Image & additional processing with Photoshop

Looks nice Anthony, very smooth. Have you tried stacking a few less frames, or even pushing the wavelets harder?

4000 frames seems a lot to stack, was the seeing very good? How long did 10000 frames take to capture?

My recent Mars and Saturn images were taken with much higher gain than usual too (taking Damien's advice!) and I too was pleased with the results.

Nice work!

now that is very good, is there a trench running along the right hand side as we look at it.

Also please do not make this your "Last" as your heading proclaims. Your images are great, but if you don't want the camera, i will graciously fight anyone else for it!!

Hi Iceman

I did a stack of 500, 2000 and 4000 and found that 4000 gave better results. I only adjusted the 3rd Wavelet on Registax, I chose not to push the wavelet to harder because I would end up with bright edges on the image.

Original, I captured over 11000 frames, Registax will only allow you to process a max of 10000 frames. It took 5min to capture 11000 frames at 37fps.

Nice shot!

Cripes!! 4000 frames!?? Now THATS me in a lolly shop! That would keep me busy for weeks reprocessing! I restack & play with AVIs for days just trying to squeeze extra details out. Top shots Anthony. The last image with the blue is the more natural one for me.

The hat's well and truly off to ya. Beautiful stuff. I agree with DP - the colour's great. very natural looking, that soft peach/red. Plenty of fine details in there as well. Very nice work.

Great Stuff Anthony! Is the Lumenera camera you're using a colour camera or are you running RGB on a monochrome version. I knew about a monochrome, but not a colour version?

cheers,
