Mars image through 130mm spaceprobe

Jeff, nice try! 8)
The method you are using is NOT the best one for planetary shots, as it is tough to keep a steady hand while shooting. Also, since good Seeing moments come and go, the chances of getting a good shot are very slim.

The best way is for you to get a webcam, like a Toucam Pro, and get a video, which could have 1000+ frames, which you then combine into one, using a program like Registax...

Some people have also done this with Digital Camcorders and such, but a Webcam is the best bet without spending too much money...


Clear skies!

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Mike, go into User Profiles on the left hand side menus, enter his First/Last name, in this case Bob Runyan, and after that send him a private message... he'll get it, and should be able to respond to you... via Astromart...

Roland, amazing detail in these shots!
(great equipment too by the way... Gotta love those STL11000 cameras!)

Are you planning to add color to these images... I'm sure they would be Jaw Dropping! 8)

M76 3 hr luminescence

Nice job Larry! 8)

Question: focus seems a bit soft, or is it that the scale is too large on the screen that makes it seems that way? (or maybe the processing is making the image softer?)(or is it my eyes? 8) )

Thanks for sharing, and keep'em coming!
