Even with the lousy seeing though, I'm coming up with some decent examples. Had to get a Halloween Mars shot! -------------------- Mars Watch All images taken with: Celestron CPC 1100 DBK 21AF04.AS K3ccd/Registax4/PSP8/Maxim DL IP ALPO Member #4287 Post Extras:       DesertRat professor emeritus Reged: 06/18/06 Posts: 665 Loc: Valley of the Sun Re: Mars 10-31-2009 at 11:00 UT [Re: Lunatiki]       #3422323 - 10/31/09 06:10 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thats a great image of Mars! Looks like the n pole is really pointing at us more and more so it appears the npc is starting to break thru. Wishing you some great seeing between these blasted cold fronts!

I like how those thin clouds are lingering to the south of it. Notice they don't show up in red at all, but the NPC shows up well in red. Seeing tomorrow morning is suppose to be better. I need to get up and get some more images, but man it was cold. 30 degrees. The CPC's handcontrol doesn't like cold weather. -------------------- Mars Watch All images taken with: Celestron CPC 1100 DBK 21AF04.AS K3ccd/Registax4/PSP8/Maxim DL IP ALPO Member #4287 Post Extras:       Mike Phillips Pooh-Bah Reged: 02/21/06 Posts: 1461 Loc: Swift Creek, NC - 35.682 N, 78...

No clouds or rain forcast. Not quite sure I believe this map, but I am hopeful. -------------------- Mars Watch All images taken with: Celestron CPC 1100 DBK 21AF04.AS K3ccd/Registax4/PSP8/Maxim DL IP ALPO Member #4287 Post Extras:       nik59 member Reged: 07/07/08 Posts: 55 Loc: RUSSIA Re: Mars 10-31-2009 at 11:00 UT [Re: Lunatiki]       #3423116 - 11/01/09 02:33 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I photographed this area of Mars. She(it) was more contrast. I think the dust storm begins. -------------------- LX200 10",LXD500 8",Celestron 80 mm ED,TAL-2 150 mm,DMK 21AF04,DSI-pro,LPI,NexImage,Philips-900,Celestron 25*100mm Skymaster Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 7 registered and 5 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
