Description

Imaged Mars for likely the last time this year on the evening of October 8, 2018 (UTC) under good seeing conditions. I imaged using both a Baader UV-IR cut and IR685 Pass filters. I then de-rotated and combined RGB and BW IR images in WinJUPOS (6 RGB images, 5 IR images, then all 11 together).

Imaged with a C8 Evo, custom Siebert 2x barlow, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR cut & IR685 Pass filters, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/22. Image capture using Firecapture (typ Gain = 275, 4ms exposure, ~150 FPS). Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 20% of ~45,000 frames per 300 second capture, 1.5x drizzled). Wavelet sharpening in Registax 6. Image de-rotation and combining in WinJUPOS 10.3.10. Final sharpening and stretch in Registax 6.
