Luca, great shot! Details look 3D and flowing. Congradulations on catching the seeing at just the right time. Thanks for sharing that beauty

Peter, excellent shot! I love the processing, colors & details are very natural. Have you tried going higher than 3x on the barlow? With lousy weather lately, I have not been able to use my scope in over a month. Thanks for posting

Bird, What's even more impressive about this amazing Jupiter is how late in the season it was taken. Excellent work and thanks for posting it.

First try at F28

Ed, great shot! Focus looks dead on to me. Some people use a green or IR pass filter to help cut through the atmospheric seeing. Keep posting!

Mars f32 LRGB 12/4/09

Collecting at 75% histograms burned the polar caps if I tried to resample at 1.5x. Next time out, I will enlarge the image until the peak histogram is approx 67%. Attached is the detailed channel data.

Mars Dec 6

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Bird, excellent shot. Do you try to keep the histograms during the individual IR, G, B captures the same or do you just try to collect the max possible brightness for each? For some reason I cannot seem to locate an unmounted 2" 742nm filter. Thanks for posting

Mars Dec 2

Paul, another excellent shot! I just just checked your web site and saw 5 Mars images within the first 10days of December! I'm lucky to get 2 clear nights a month. Check your CSC, it looks like 5/5 seeing for the morning! Thanks for posting here

Steve
