The humidity got to levels now where I don’t have to worry about my corrector plate so I can concentrate on imaging for a change. The transparency and the seeing were far from what I would be hoping for, but I wanted to make use of the fact that I did not have to watch the corrector plate. I made 7 series of RGBI images over the span of 1 hour an made also an animation. I used some new software for these. Our friend Emil Kraaikamp from the Netherlands did let me use his (alpha version) tools. I must say I like what I saw. Obviously I want to check this out when my AVIs are a little better quality, but I did process the images using his software as well as Registax. Below the two images, the left one is processed using Emil’s software, the right one using Registax.
Here the first image of the series together with the filtered images. Next to it a 1 hour animation of rotation of Mars. Click the thumbnail to start the rotation.
