Hi Mike, I doubt if it's light pollution, if you can see what I deal with and have no problems like that. Looks like a light leak or camera fogging. Maybe a loose connection and when you go to different areas of the sky you get a different light leak. Hope you get it straightened out when you...

Great shot!

Thanks Ben

The reason you crop down is to get a faster frame rate and the files aren't too large. Mars is so small even imaging at 6000mm and the 1304x976 pixels you have a lot of wasted area so I crop the image until Mars fits in nicely. You can also make a custom size crop. I tried planetary with my...

I took these shots of Mars from the last 2 weeks. These were taken with the Celestron 9.25 Edge with a 2.5 Powermate and the ASI 224mc camera. Each shot was scaled up 1.75 times and taken at the resolution of 320x280 Here is the finished project. I started this on 12-01-22 and took the last...

Thanks Mike, I will start adding the earth in on all the shots, it is nice to see the scale.

Nice shot Jim, glad you were able to capture it. I missed it, when i first looked at it Mars was pretty far away so I didn't think it would be that close. I did look at it through binoculars.

Thanks Alan, It's pretty hard to imagine how big these things get.

Thanks Ben!

They do form some pretty neat looking objects.

There was a nice large prominence on the sun today. I added the earth in to show how large it is. I think I'm pretty close on the size.

Thanks Mike, the one good thing about astrophography in Florida is the steady skies. I hope you can get some good solar system shots with your 9.25.

Thanks Mike, Astrosurface does it all and very good. I haven't tried deep sky yet.

Thank You Jameel

This is the same I use for planets. celestron 9.25 Edge with a 2.5 Powermate and the asi224mc camera. I use Astrosurface to do most of the processing and do the final tweaking with Topaz Denoise or Sharpen and Affinity Photo.

Thank You Ben!

Thanks Alan, I wasn't in space at the time it was just my backyard.

The atmosphere was pretty steady last night and I have several shot of the same surface features of Mars so decided to shoot the moon.

Nice shot Mike!

Thanks Dan!
