Sirs,
My
name is Paolo Lazzarotti and I like to image solar
system planets from my location placed in a small city in
The image you can find attached it's the first one about
2003 Mars opposition. If you feel my work might be useful for your purpose,
I'll be happy to share my works with you!

Nice to hear this
from you! Yes, I'll care of sending you
all my work. Yes, as you noticed through my website I like very much to capture
frame of Nature.
I'll go to make RGB
imagery from next image every time seeing will be not so bad!

Very nice result,
Chris! Talking with Italian Mars
coordinator Paolo Tanga (he's working in Nice Observatory), an IR-cut filter would be welcome with color CCD devices like webcams. Can you try to use one? You'd better balance red
and blue channels imagery for a real appearance of the planet. Furthermore, can
you better explain to me what's RRGB image?
Thanks.
© . . . . . . . . . .Here attached my latest Mars image
through R channel only. Unfortunately G and B final frame of tricolor image are
suffering of a "strange misalignment" effect, such as my software
wouldn't be able to align them properly. I checked more and more times but in
vain; I suppose this is due to the atmospheric turbulence because in R frame
this is not visible, in the G channel does begin to be noticeable and in the B
one is terrible!
Any suggestion?

© . . . . . . . . . .Here attached my latest Mars image in
R channel with fair/good seeing and thiny clouds
crossing the planet. You can also find my G and B channels captured at the same
time with same conditions. Is there someone who can explain me what's due the
vertical splitting affecting these 2 channels? All attempts of mine to capture
pictures through G and B filters give the same result so far. Thank you very
much for your eventual help.

© . . . . . . . . . .Here my latest Mars image taken at 1500 m. altitude
with excellent transparency and poor to good seeing. For the first time I
followed all the night the Red noticing a large cloud (B channel) at
sunset limb to disappear behind the disc. Seeing was variable and so I wasn't
able to get a following RGB sequence for color image. Hope this helps any
way.
