A small and a blurry Mars

[iceman]

Captured on the 29th September, only just got around to finishing the processing..

Although I don't really think the end result is worth the time invested :) The seeing has been horrible lately, and with Mars so low (30°) it doesn't help.

The blue NPH is visible and Mare Sirenum is the dark band across the south, but no small scale features are visible because of the terrible seeing and poor resolution. I was hoping for nice seeing because Olympus Mons would've been visible at this CM.

I tried captured Venus the same morning at an even lower altitude, but that one I did throw away :) There wasn't a single frame in 2600 that was sharp.

Well worth presenting Mike, still some nice detail there and hopefully the first of many to come.:thumbsup:

Very nice Mike, can't wait to capture some as well.

Cheers

You've done well for seeing of 2-3/10 Mike, detail and colour already present, we will look forward to some great images in better conditions. :thumbsup:

It won't be long Mike, before you're in your element once again.
Mars will be looking betterer and betterer every week now. LOL
