Mars, Feb, 1st, 2010

Seeing has gotten a little better and allowed for a couple of tries at f/30.
First off, I didn't push hard to f/30 but rather to f/20.
It looked promising and seeing was quite nice for my local standards - 6 story roof top building, with scattered fireplace chimneys, though none was burning at the time.
I got the following picture, a stack of some 1000 frames per channel, in Registax and CS4.



Since it looked so nice, I tweaked collimation and pushed up to f/30. Boy, I could see fine detail on the R channel image on the laptop screen. I was glad that it was worth the waiting... only to become evident that seeing was only getting worse...
This is the best I was able to get, just some 50 minutes later...
C11 @f/30, DMK21AF, RGB Astronomik IIb
Registax & CS4.


Got to keep waiting for better skies...
