comment:
眼視ではseeing:4-5/10なので撮影準備をしている
うちにseeing:3/10に落ちてしまった。最近西空は
何故かseeingが悪い。

poor seeing 5/10

12日よりシーイングが良いと思ったが、それほどでもなかった。
EZから南極に向かって  アイボリ、茶色の筋、ピンク、黄色、茶色、こげ茶色
茶色の筋、を除いて5段階の層に色分けになっているが、
黄色が狭くなったような気がします。
緯度が高くなったか、南極の茶色の部分が広がったのか
どちらでしょう。

You will find a pair of dark spots on the images which are easily visible in the RGB image as well as its inverse. I am unsure if these are true spots, since the images were not flat fielded and I cannot shoot one now since the camera has been moved since this image was taken.
I have also split the RGB channels and processed the colour video clip as a monochrome frame. An IR rejection filter was used for the clip. It was assembled from 700 frames from a 1800 frame clip using Registax.
The telescope was the 30cm SCT @ f24 and I used the ToUcam Pro in 320x240 mode to grab the video. The IR frame was taken with the same telescope, but the projection distance is a bit longer giving f27. I use the Pixcel 237 in hi-res mode (7.4u pixels), and used Registax to assemble 12 of 20 raw frames (3 sec each) to create the IR image. I do not believe the spots are visible in the IR frame.
Unfortunately, I do not have a CM calculated for the date and time of the image.
What do you think...spots or dust bunnies??? Questions and comments would be greatly appreciated.
