MARS AND SATURN


The planet Saturn, with details could hardly see our eyes. You can see the Cassini Division separating the rings as well as details of its turbulent surface. Date: April 6, 2012. (Credit: Fernando Silva.)
The red planet is revealed in detail for the CCD camera Fernando Silva. The polluted skies over the city of Santiago de Chile are not an obstacle for the astrophotography captures the details of the Martian surface.
Using a telescope Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT, a Maksutov-Cassegrain with focal radius of 12, ideal for capturing planets and planetary camera of the same brand Reimage, Silva took videos of these objects with little exposure to then add several frames in register. 
With patience, method and art, the author managed to spectacular results wanted to share with our readers.
The method of "stalking" to add frames in registration allows circumventing the problem of field rotation that occurs in telescopes alt-azimuth mount, as the Celestron Nexstar models.
