SPX350 F39, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters.

Had a quick chance before cloud wave passed over with mist but seeing was avg and improved briefly to fair allowing a showable set to be taken. Would love another good seeing set of this area but weather looks variable this week.

Mars RGB-1118hrs UT

Thanks for looking, John.

You are certainly producing some quite wonderfully detailed images from the very variable seeing John. Is there a “seeing hole” hovering over your back garden.;)

Lovely work.:thumbsup:

Cheers

That looks identical to the one you took on the 29th.
It's as though the planet didn't even rotate.

But a lovely shot as always.

There is little rotation between the two days but the cloud has moved a little and Mars has shrunk a little. Seeing was similar.

Here is a gif

Regards, John.

Very nice Mars image again, you are just cranking them out :)
I especially like the gif animation, it's amazing how little the clouds have actually moved, and the fact that Mars has receded a little. Fascinating :)

That is just sensational one of the few Mars images on here that you can just look at for quite some time which is more a great credit to you rather than anything inferior from other planet images. Thanks!
