As commented elsewhere a great record of the event.

An F4 native one at that! I've come to learn it's the mirror diameter that matters most.

Thanks Marc. Yep, Mars doesn't stay long unfortunately.

Thanks Dunk!

Wow - what an image scale and so much surface detail, nicely processed too.

Top shot.

Cheers

Kevin, you've done it again and they just keep getting better. Looks like you've found the perfect scope, camera and processing combination to churn out consistently impressive results. Hats off to you on another great effort with this one.

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

Thanks Dennis and Michael.

Along the way I've made lots of small improvements. I think I have the workflow sorted out pretty much now. Just limited by seeing. And mirror diameter.
