+Graham Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 After struggling to get any detail on my images of Mars Malc-c told me to ditch the IR filter on the SPC 900. So after 2 weeks of solid cloud freezing fog and everything in between the clouds rolled away leaving a clear bright sky with just a hint of high thin clouds passing by. I fired up the obsy ditched the IR filter from the web cam and spent a memerable 4 hours taking AVI after AVI of my nemisis. The results are amazing when compared to what I have taken in the past. So thanks again Malcom you were spot on. The Avi's were put through Registax 5 no other processing involved. I have only attached the cropped Jpeg images. The Tif one are even better. Graham.

Doc Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The Jpegs are a bit tiny but you can clearly see the polar ice cap and some surface details, just goes to show that the IR filter might not be a good as some people say. Well done Grahram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good effort Graham, nice polar cap. I have yet to get my butt out to have a good look at this, I have a 6mm planetary to play with now, so Iam hoping for half decent views of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
