Description

Does anyone remember the old Steven Wright joke about putting a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room and letting them fight it out?

Well that is essentially what I did with this attempt to capture Mars. I inadvertently left my 0.7x reducer on the telescope and then set it up with a 2x Barlow for this image.

I have been trying to improve my planetary imaging and I still need to put a lot more work into it but I thought I would share this latest effort.

I do like the color I was able to achieve out of this but still, the images are not clear enough and I believe the telescope is capable of better. I will check collimation again and try to get better focus. I also believe I need to combine stacks of data so that is what I will work on next.
