The Planets
Mars
These images of Mars were taken with the Atik 1HSII and 1CII on a
Tak turret, through a X2 barlow (w/ extension) into the mewlon. The
1HS was used for the luminance channel, the 1C provided the RGB
channels. Both were run at 10fps, the lum for 120s, the RGB for 100s
This image of Mars also used only the Atik 1CII on the
mewlon. The camera was run at 10fps for 180s
Images below are from 2005 when Mars
achieved an apparent size of 20"

The above photo was resized 25% (not 40%)
These images of Mars were taken in 2007 using the Lumenera Skynyx 2-0M through Astronomik LRGB &
IR filters mounted in a Truetech filter wheel. A X2 barlow w/ extension was used on the Mewlon 250 to
achieve the desired focal ratio. Those taken in Oct and later used the imaging train shown on the
equipment page. Individual exposures were stacked in Registax, individual color layers were aligned
then processed in Photoshop CS2
