**** FASA Space tellescope. its a scope that takes pictures of space objects lol its not in outer space .

 

Anyway Im not sure but I think the better iage with the bad pork rind effect is a 16 bit image. i cant see where it says if its 16 bit or not in the deet sheet but its from a shorter frame grou then my usual 50,000. the seeing for my usual seeing was not good at all I could barely focus.

 

The 358 imge i belive is the 16 bit image not 100%

the rest range in clarity I think the seeing got better as the night went on 

and heres a bit of Saturn. I still have 2 files to process i can probably do a gaf rotation cartoon if i new how

[moonwatching ferret]

the marses definitey improved as night went on the best is 418 ut

I doubt 16 bits vs 8 bits would make sufficient difference (always depending how many frames were stacked, of course) to make such a difference in detail.

 

There's no doubt you know what you're doing from a practical level, even if deciphering some of your prose is challenging at times.

 

I would attribute it to an improvement in seeing, perhaps also as Mars gained a little in altitude.

 

2nd Saturn has far more "ooomph" than the first one. I like the way it nearly pops.

I love the prose, the pics, the enthusiasm and the hilarity.

How much is annual membership? 😂😂😂😂

I think the top Sturn had better data but for soe reason it came out dark I must have forgot a step ot two lol . 

 

I'm thinking mars was not directly over my next door neighbors roof top at the end of the night pluss the roads and rooftops cooled substantially since the hot Florida set. 

 I have had a thought of selling time on my scope to make a couple of bucks but i would probably have to upgrade my drives to go to with another buyers drive on the dec with servo drive motors ?
