Oh, & if you look closely at the Mars RAW you can see the fuzz on the left limb. That's slight miscollimation. That has been sorted since.

Thanks so much for posting the RAW files, when one sees great final images, it is really useful to know what the raw data looks like to know if our own captures are comparable. It helps those of us just taking stills as well to know what we can expect.

This is in great seeing. In average seeing, most frames won't show a sharp CD like in this frame. As for Mars, it was in slightly jetted out conditions. Vibrating between 8-10/10. Still a nice frame as far as RAW images go.

Those are simply fantastic images. I'm speechless.
It must be great to have such good seeing. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Wow, awesome! You are a master of planetary imaging.

Thanks again Rolf. Think the seeing is gone now. Out just now doing a bit of solar work & I'd give the seeing a 4 at best. As I said though, it comes & goes.

Ha! No I don't think so prokyon. It's mainly about that nice seeing. Thanks! And good to see another meatalhead here, lol.
