Very nice Jan! What telscope/camera etc., do you use?

Jim Phillips

Hi Jan -

A very nice image - was it difficult to get a bright enough image with your 180mm and red filter at f45?

Alan

Hi Jan,

Very! good image, better than a lot of images in 2003 when Mars was twice that size

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Thats a nice image Jan - especially for the aperture. You were out over an hour earlier than me...

Damian

Thanks Alan, Wes and Damian,it means alot to me from 3 topnotch imagers,

Alan, transparancy must be really good to get enough light, with this magnification it is just feasable but alot of noise (1/25s and 80% gain)

Wes you're absolutly right this resolution I didn't get in 2003, hope it will for everyone a memorable season

Damian, yep I did recieve some airflow from your location it seems

I hope to recieve my filterwheel and colorfilters soon, now I have to decide which camera DMK or Lumenera

best wishes Jan
