Details:
I imaged Mars from my backyard observatory in Manorville, NY USA on 10-04-20. Using the IR(G)B technique for coloring this image. I leaned this from a Damian Peach's Astrophotography tutorials on his patreon channel that I became a Gold Member for $10.00 US a month so I can unlock everything on his page. He said this method is especially beneficial when seeing conditions are not great, or for those using large aperture telescopes (40cm or more.) He also said it is best to us your RGB filters when seeing is GOOD. I have a lot to learn. Seeing was poor at the time with slite winds and a 16.82 Day Old Moon close to Mars. I used a IR-742 Filter and a Blue Astrodon Filter then made a copy of the IR-742 (650nm) Filter and pasted the Blue filter to the IR-742 copy to make the synthetic Green file image. Then go to layers and opacity down to 50% then merge is your synthetic Green File. Then you need to merge all 3 files to get your color image. My setup was Edge HD14" / ZWO asi290mm camera 2 Filters used IR-742 (650nm) Filter and a Blue Astrodon Filter. ZWO adc atmospheric dispersion corrector / ZWO 8 position filter wheel in a 2X barlow. All guided with an 1600GTO German Equatorial Mount, I hope to share with you more more Mars images. I am praying for GOOD Seeing that is hard to come by. So tell me what you think in the comments.Kind regards to ALL!
