Hi Mike;

Very nice shots and I'm sure it will be even better as we get closer.

You almost have enough images to do one of those rotating planet movies.

Thanks for sharing..

Hi All,

Tuesday morning was one of those rare skies with Danko 4/5 seeing.

Mars was a little more than 15 arc.sec in diameter. Both the

markings around Mare Erythraeum and Solis Lacus were videoed

intermitantly over a four hour period using a 7" Questar titanium at

f/35 through a Sony XCD-x710CR fire wire video camera at 15 - 30

frames/sec for 140 t0 70 sec. Uncompressed capture was with

Astro IIDC 2.00.02 and analysis was with Keith's Image Stacker 4.2.

To keep from using up the groups disc space, I have displayed

these photos on my web pages.

JPG page for 2005 09 13 is at

TIFF page for 2005 09 13 is at

The jpg files being about 1/5 to 1/10 the size of the tiff files are

best for dial up modems. If broad band is available, the tiffs show

slightly more detail.

Enjoy,

Mike Snider
