First ever Mars (LRGB and animations)
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:54 am
Finally Mars became good visible for me, it finally comes above the roofs. I never did capture Mars before, so for a first time I am really pleased with it
And learned already 1 thing: the rotation is way faster then I did expect. So, also did 2 (very) short animations: one RGB and one IR.
The image is LRGB (IR) and on purpose a bit "rough" .
2 x 30000 frames IR-Pass, best 5% stacked in AutoStakkert
3 x 30000 frames RGB, best 5% stacked in AutoStakkert
Animations made with the ancient MS GIF Animator
Bortle 8
Meade LX65 8" f/10 ACF OTA
Ioptron CEM25EC mount (no guiding)
Baader IR-Pass filter
Baader IR/UV Cut filter
Zwo ASI385MC
Captured with SharpCap Pro
IR 10,1 ms per frame (110 fps), Gain 210, Offset /Brightness 10, White Bal (B)=95 White Bal (R)=52
RGB 6,7 ms per frame (120 fps), Gain 208, Offset/Brightness 10, White Bal (B)=95 White Bal (R)=52
Processed in Photoshop
