Description

My first planetary image in a while (well, besides the Moon). Mars is coming up for its closest approach in a while so with the new ASI462MC and good seeing in the early morning I captured the above. I am pleased with the outcome given the altitude of the planet from London (43 degrees).

Details of acquisition were:

Best 5% of 30,000 frames taken at 5.4ms exposure, 200 gain and 142fps using FireCapture 2.7. Stacked in AS!3 (resampled 3x) and processed using AstroSurface. Presented at 1.5x actual resolution.

The IR image was taken through an Astronomik 742nm filter.
