Hires Clavius

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi,

I have been wanting to get a good high sun angle Clavius and I finally did back on 08/25/05 and I just got around to processing it, I was surprised at the detail in the larger craters.

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1 camera, 680nm IR pass filter, 25 FPS, stack of 500 frames, 14 alignment points.

Thanks,

Mars 10/18/05

Hi,

I intended to get a color image with my Lumenera LUO75C but when I plugged the camera in I got the dreaded black screen and not having time to work with it I used the Infinity 2-1 instead, having a spare camera is great 8)

Re: Some tiny images of Mars from late October....

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Robert,

Those are some superb images, I would not exactly say they are tiny most Mars images during the 2003 apparition were not much bigger than these.

Thanks,

Hi Damian,

Astounding! resolution, even with the high sun angle there is a wealth of small craters everywhere, thanks for posting the image here.
