Mars with UV-IR blocker and bandpass filter IR742

 


Imaging Mars on Friday, November 25, 2022. My first time use of an UV-IR blocker together with my ASI224MC color camera. The white polar cap is now good visible, which was not the case during my previous imaging sessions. This could confirm that I was imaging in IR and polluting it with visual light. 

Next to this, I used also my new bandpass filter IR742 for the first time. The result is an mono picture with some great details. 


Setting: TAL200K f/8.5, ASI224MC, Barlow x2, ADC
Filters: IR/UV blocker and IR742nm
Software: SharpCap 4, AS3!, CS4, DeNoise AI
