Subject: first early mars

Greetings -

Had a brief break in the clouds this week and a chance to capture my first mars image 

from this apparition:

http://www.geocities.com/alanfgag/mars7_20_05.jpg

I used the stacking feature in ASTRO IIDC to create the components for the RGB layers 

(captured using a manual filterwheel with my B&W DMK 21BF04 webcam.) Although I still 

found that I could tweak a little higher resolution by hand selecting and multiple aligning 

the frames for a luminence image, using the auto stacking routine in ASTROIIDC saves a 

bunch of time.

best,

Alan
