Hi all,

Here is another Mars taken during Melbourne's impressive Saturday morning (and it seems Friday evening) seeing. This image was taken at 3:16am about 20minutes after I had the hair dryer on clearing the dew off the secondary :-(

12" F5 Newtonian with 2.5x Barlow stretched to almost 5.5x.

Thanks Bratislav for the processing tips.

Best regards,

Mark Justice

That's a good result with no ringing at the edge, humidity has been very bad over the past week.

John.

Hi Mark, Nice image. I would like to know what kind of set up you have when you took that particular photo.
