My first attempt at imaging Venus. I’m pretty happy with the result, considering that Venus was quite low in altitude. I think the focus may have been slightly off as I tried to focus on the planet directly, next time I will focus on a star and then slew to the target. Acquisition: Equipment: Processing:
My second attempt at planetary imaging, definitely getting better. Previously I had used too many alignment points when stacking, generating artifacts and limiting how much I was able to sharpen the image. This time I had no artifacts and was able to sharpen a lot more. Acquisition: Equipment: Processing:
Mars imaged just 17 days from opposition. Not bad for a first attempt at planetary imaging, I’ve learned a lot and my next attempt should be even better. Acquisition: Equipment: Processing:
