Mars images from 8th June
2003
Dear Mars
Observers,
The skies is finally clear and I managed to obtain some images.
Attached are the two mars images from this morning.
I've used the baader UV-IR filter with a bandpass
of 400-700nm for the 2222UT image.
For the 22:16UT image, the bandpass of the Red and blue filters were reduced to
600-700nm and 400-500nm respectively, this should compare well with bandpass of other interference filters and allow the Red
and Blue frame to be useful for studies of white clouds details.

Dear everyone,
Finally the skies has clear up and
I managed to obtain some mars images. I was able to test out the 5x powermate with the 250mm Mewlon and
I am quite satisfied with the results. Seeing was 6-7/10 and transparency 9/10.
Attached is the
mars image from
I will send
more images as I get time to process them.
Let's hope for
more clear skies and superb seeing.

Dear friends,
The sky has been clear again and I managed to obtain some
mars images. Attached is the mars image from this morning. Transparency was
poorer this morning 6/10 and seeing was 5/10. I had to reduce the F ratio to
f/60.8 (2.5x powermate + 2x barlow). Stacking of 1000 frames
out of 1800 frames at 1/25 sec gain at 60%. There are a few other avi that I will get to process later and they will be send
out in due time.
Clear Skies to
everyone.

2003 - 21:57UT (magenta filter)
Dear friends,
Attached is an additional mars image from
http://www.sg-planets.org/toucam_mars.html
The main difference between the UV-IR filtered image and
with the UV-IR+magenta filter is the lack of green ghost
(surface details) in the B frame as well as no saturation of following limb in
the Red frame. The raws are much easier to process.
This method with the magenta filter works as expected according to the article.
