Subject: Four Hour Mars sequence

Hi Folks;

I batch processed the 15.2 gigabytes of Mars video I shot last

night/morning over supper, and just finnished up processing them in

Astro IIDC (sharpness, log stretch, brightness and color balance).

Check out :

That is a composite of 4 hours of Mars at 15 minute intervals (12 am

to 4am MST local) I caught very good detail considering I'm using a

MAK 127 mm 5.1 scope. 

Seeing was very good last night and looks like it might be the even

better tonight, as there is no light thin cloud / haze. A little

chilly (-5°C), but nothing bone numbing like our -40°C winter months.

Seeing started dropping off at around 3:30 am so I packed it in.

Enjoy the images..
