Hi Mike -


Just had a chance to see your image - thanks for postin it. I agree with Milton that the 

color is a little strong in the yellow. 


I bet your 7" Questar will be a great performer on Mars as it gets bigger - I look forward to 

seeing more of your images.

Hi All, 


I have been following with keen interest the informative postings and 

excellent photos here since the Group began.  Although I have taken

lunar and planetary images with firewire webcams for almost 3 years

with some success and  much enjoyment,  I have only recently began

to use the Astro IIDC software for capture.  I have placed a photo of

Mars taken with My 7" Maksutov using version 1.00  on August 3, 2005

in the files section. 


Today I downloaded Version 2.02.00.  Hopefully the weather will clear

soon so I can try it out.



Thanks Milt for writing this well made MAC software and maintaining

a great discussion site.
