Hi all,

After a string of mornings where predawn cloud prevented imaging, a very early morning resulted in me managing to catch Mars before the cloud developed.

Best regards, Clyde

A lucky brief break in the clouds allowed this capture at 12 deg. altitude.

Hi, all

An absolutely beautiful fresh morning earlier as after a few days of intense heat(we had a new all time record high in Centurion of over 42 deg C apparently), we had a serious hailstorm followed by very welcome heavy rain yesterday afternoon and evening.

An RGB image set from this morning. I returned to the ASI224MC for the colour image. The IR and R images were taken through the respective filters. The G and B images were generated by splitting the channels from the colour image. I am still experimenting with this process and am not sure I am doing it right, as the G image looks very close to the R. Possibly a topic of discussion when I am visiting the BAA in two weeks time?

�

Jim, I am still working on a test program to see what I can do about the f limb "contrast arc".

The main albedo features showing nicely. I note that other imagers are also picking up the extremely bright southern following/sunlit limb.

Best regards, Clyde

First image of 2016. I had good seeing on the morning of the 1st, but transparency was rapidly falling when I took this, and there was a halo around the Moon nearby, so exposures were long (>50ms) and the result is not too sharp. Still nice to see the GRS again and the STB white ovals.
