Herschel 06-07-06

Hi Robert,

Thanks!, although still not a great image MAP processing was what really saved this image, if the new Registax works well with MAP processing it will sure save a lot of time.

Hi Yu Gu,

Very! nice image, it's great to see your images again, your planetary images have been among the very best ever taken from a ground based scope.
Faster frame rates and uncompressed images are two big advantages of cameras like the LUO75 and the DMK cameras, they also have less noise and the Lumenera cameras can image at 12bits, the ROI (Region Of Interest) function allows you to crop around the planet and get even faster frame rates and smaller file sizes.

Thanks,

6 inches of Jupiter

Hi Alan,

Excellent! image, what it lacks in image scale is more than made up for in detail and color, great processing as usual.

Thanks,

Jupiter 06/19 Aborted Merger

Hi Chris,

Great image as usual, it's to bad the ovals have stalled they make the normally boring side very interesting.

Thanks,

My last 3 Mars!!

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Paul,

Wow 200 Mars images that is some accomplishment, you may well have taken more Mars images than anyone this opposition , I guess due to the shear number of them I have not commented on all of them smile

but I have *always* enjoyed seeing them , It's almost sad to hear this is your last Mars image for awhile thank you for all the time you put into taking the images and also for sharing them with all of us.
