After re-installing the latest version of the DMK IC Capture software, the camera has thankfully settled down. This is my first attempt at Mars with RGB Astronomik filters and a DMK mono camera. I have a lot to learn!
I know its not stunning but there’s big learning curve to get this far, so I am hoping I can improve on this. There were 3 x 60 sec video files (avi) at 60fps, so about 3600 frames each. Processed with registax 6 and wavelet enhancement. The resulting RGB images were aligned manually in Photoshop using the difference feature of adjacent layers and finally added to the RGB channels of the final image.
Orion Optics VX14, (f4.5 with x5 Televue Powermate = f22.5) and Losmandy Titan
I think the overall quality of the image is very dependent on the ‘seeing’ and the ‘seeing’ and definitely the ‘seeing’ – not to stress the ‘seeing’ quality too much of course 🙂
