Mars 28-07-03 (4" refractor)

One downside of a clear night is the amount of information to process.
I have picked out 23x43s MOVs representing the best of my captures.
I've still got about 10 files to process (these representing the best
period, when Mars was climbing higher in the sky).

However, here's one of the better results. It still needs tweaking
and is a bit dark for my tastes. I'll post the full details of the
capture session on my website when I'm finished.

Basic information: Taken afocally through an f9 Vixen FL-102s
refractor on a GP-DX mount. Olympus C-2100uz digital camera in movie
mode (320x240, ISO 400, 12.5fps). Full zoom (10x, focal length 70mm)
on the camera. 5mm Lanthanum eyepiece.

Session time 00:00 -- 01:00 UT on the 28th July 2003. Seeing 5/10,
transparency 5/10.

Not too sure if I can get much more out of a 4".

Great image Peter and confirming the drawing I did at the same time.
I shot some video clips as well and I am wondering what software you
are using to convert *.MOV to *.AVI . Until I can convert them, I am
stuck!

I've done some MOV-AVI conversions .. using the Rad Video tools.

Yes - that's the one I use. Quick and efficient piece of software
athough it's entry in the Start -- Programs listing (Bink and
Smacker) makes it sound like something other than a video utility ;-)
