Theopilis and Cryllus

Hi John,

Very! nice and nice processing too, your SV-102 must be a very fine scope to handle that image scale so well.

Saturn--my best

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Mike,

Excellent! image among the best posted this season, if only you could have
gotten 1000 of 2800 it probably would have been THE best this season but it is still a great! image.

Clear And Steady Skies,

WebCams and the Martian Atmosphere?

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Maurizio,

That is certainly one of the best if not the best amateur image of Mars showing the atmospheric details that I have seen, what ever camera you decide to go with I can't wait to see your 2005 Mars images.

Thanks,

Another Saturn...

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Mike,

Outstanding, excellent globe detail, I agree with your assessment of the visual colors I see the same in my 18" even at magnifications over 1000X , maybe it's just the large aperture,I know our Zambuto primaries are top notch smile .

Clear And Steady Skies,

Alpine valley mosaic

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Mike,

Impressive image, the rille shows up very well, due to the length of it the Alpine Valley is a good candidate for multiple alignment points.
Software to do this automatically would sure be great!

Thanks,

Arzachel-mosaic

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Mike,

You have got some amazing resolution there, the central peak is the best I have seen of this crater, the multiple alignment/mosaic method really pays off but it sure is time consuming.

Thanks,

Why I Might just Stick with a CCD...

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Maurizio,

That is probably the best *single* frame of the Vallis Alpes in existence, using your CCD camera how many frames would you need in order to make a fair improvement to the S/N ratio, I know the amount needed would be less than from a webcam and what CCD camera did you use to take this image.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
