Couple of Mars images, a IR-Pass & a ColorIR-Pass/C: F: G: Color image, CPH, Denmark

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Well, even this is not great planet Mars images I want to show what I'm able to produce, first light, from my frontyard in CPH, Amager, Denmark.

Nearly a full Moon standing pretty close to Mars => Bortle Dark-Sky Scale 7.

Mars is standing in a 'middel' position in the sky a couple of hours after midnight.

Not an excuse but just facts, I 'shoot' the SER FC files across house roofs, asphalt roads, .. .

Data image A:

AS v3.1.4 x64, stack 2% used twice, a stack with IR pass and a stack with a UV-IR cut filter.

FC 2.6, Camera=ZWO ASI462MC

Frames captured=10000

File type=SER

ROI=416x376

FPS (avg.)=67

16" SCT F10, Baader UV-IR cut, Astronomik 742 pass filter & a ZWO ADC was used.

Note: Maybe the images are 'over-processed' ;-)

My home build observatory is placed in my front yard/in the "red light" pollution zone, have a look here,

Red Zone

Kind regards

Niels

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.
