Did anyone get any Mars photos? I tried with my Oly, and it wouldn't let me! However, I did get some rough and ready ones with my Lumix. Rather shaky and out of focus, but they do show an orangey blob in a black sky.

Feel free to post it Keith. I'm afraid I forgot to have a go.

Here it is, in all its dubious glory!

Bit fuzzy, but it does look round, and shows some shadowing. Might have another go tonight.Comment

Re: Mars...
What lens did you use efl 720mm? Planets are really difficult (no impossible) with DSLR lenses. Have you thought of using the video mode with this lens and stacking the resulting video frames. With a still this good I would think lucky imaging as it is called may work better. Not into this myself but worth a google.John

Re: Mars...
The big Q is, now that a great resource of submaranian water has been discovered, how long before it's colonised? Unless it happens within the next 2 years I may not be around to see it, and how long will our Earth remain habitable is an even bigger Q.Comment

Re: Mars...
+1 for John said.
The only way to get any detail is to use video mode and stack many frames. Some people stack over a thousand (not a typo).
Its best to first use a free program called PIPP pre-align the frames and select the best quality ones, then stack the best of the best. You should get some detail using that approach.Comment

Re: Mars...
Real details or not Keith I'd have been really chuffed with that shot. Might be clear here tonight so will hold off the vino for a while to see if I can have a go

Re: Mars...
I'm not interested in doing that, Wornish. Too much messing about. I'm not an astral photographer, but occasionally I find it fun to have a go and get something like the admittedly fuzzy shot of Mars. it was handheld, against either the window or window frame, when I tried without the glass in between.Originally posted by wornish View PostComment

Re: Mars...
I was simply pointing out that the best way to get more detail was to use video and trying to provide a simple guide of how to do it, didn't mean to upset you.Originally posted by KeithL View Post

Re: Mars...
Why do you think that what I wrote had anything to do with "being upset"? And indeed, Brexit? I was pointing out that I have no interest in image stacking or anything of similar ilk, nothing more, nothing less.Originally posted by wornish View PostI was simply pointing out that the best way to get more detail was to use video and trying to provide a simple guide of how to do it, didn't mean to upset you.

Take pictures as you want, I was simply trying to be helpful - my bad (as they say). Just like to point out that I simply did a +1 to another post, yet you decided respond only to me, no comment about the original poster, John( I think).
Hmmm. end of discussion - have fun
