Finally … after waiting over a month for that dastardly dust storm to settle down a bit, I've finally managed some recognisable Mars images. The "red planet" has been an allusive target for me after several miserable initial attempts in July.

Captured using a ZWO ASI-183mc purchased recently … attracted by it's small pixels and high QE. Plan to occasionally use it for planetary/lunar, then as a guide camera at other times.

Captured on 3 September.
180 second capture @ 8ms, gain 150.
2x PowerMate in a C9.25.

Thanks for looking!
