Mars at Opposition with 4.5" Apo (for 3D -> see version M)

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Early in the morning of October 13th I took the chance to shoot Mars at it's opposition 2020.

>>>>>> For a 3D-cross-eyed version -> see version M <<<<<<<<<

Initially, I intended to use my C8 but it turned out that I have to collimate the instrument.

So, I switched to my TS 115/800 Photoline refractor (4.5"), added a GWK-1.8-Barlow and a 17mm Ploessl eyepiece for projection - resulting in an equivalent focal lenght of arround 6000mm (f/52).

Since I own no planetary camera, I used my Canon C100 camera which shows good low-light performance. The seeing was not bad and I am happy with the result so far (for a 4.5" telescope). Maybe I can get further improvements by choosing other fragments of my footage and/or with other settings in the RegiStax wavelet tool.

I am still new in the planetary photography workflow, so I expect an improvement of my hardware and software handling skills :-)

Next time I will try to use my C8 (after collimation).

Description: When you apply a cross-eyed view on this image - the right eye views to the left Mars, the left eye views to the right Mars - you get a three dimensional impression of the planet.
I added a few artificial stars to improve the 3D effect.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
