Jason, nice shot. How many frames did you stack? You should try for Neptune next. Thanks for posting

Mars and Saturn from Oct 18, 2007

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Paul, great shots! Saturn's rings are almost edge on which will make imaging of the Cassini band even tougher this year. I think you were the first to catch Saturn. The sharpness and color of your RGB Mars is awesome. Thanks for posting

Mars Oct. 22, 2007

Miguel, Awesome Mars! Exceptional detail for average seeing. You really must have that collimation near perfect. Next time out, I will try imaging with/wo the IR blocking filter and a red filter. Thanks for posting it

Comet Holmes 11/2/07 Afocal

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Using a Nikon D70s at prime, 12x30sec shots at ISO1600 were stacked. The large size of the comet would appear better with a focal reducer which unfortuneately I do not own.

Steve

Surprisingly the inexpensive Powershot (complete with finger prints on the lens) seems to give a better image.

Mars and Mercury

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Paul, great shots! Mercury reaches its greatest elongation Nov8th and it looks like I may have a clear shot at it with the leaves now mostly off the trees. I saw it this morning with binoculars. thanks

Mercury f10 11/5/07

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
I've got 1000's of f25 Mercury images to plow through and hopefully find 10 or 20 to stack. All taken between 6:06 and 6:18am. Here's one of the "better" single frames

Mars f25 11/5/07

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Another f25 image, this one taken at 5:17am with the best 486/3322 frames stacked. Seeing must have been slightly better than my 5:30am avi

Jim, Gorgeous comet images! The core details are awesome. You should send that one in to Astronomy or Sky and Telescope to publish. Thanks
