Mars
  • Details
    Date Taken: 04/26/2014
    Location: NE Ohio
    Telescope: Orion SkyQuest XX16g GoTo Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope
    Other Camera: Imaging Source DBK21AU618
    Processing: Firecapture, PIPP, Registax
    Exposure: 1000x16.67s, 7.6ms exposure
    Other Equipment Used: 2X Powermate
    Notes: AVI captured in Firecapture, pre-processed in PIPP, stacked and processed in Registax. Conditions very poor - windy, passing clouds, seeing 1/5, 2/5 at best. XX16g GoTo works very well, put Mars in my finder w/o any star alignment. Kept Mars reasonably well-centered on the small CCD chip even with the 2X Powermate.
