Well, finally got around to producing my Mars Compilation. A few here asked if I could do this once I had all the images. Its a shame that this is the best that it will be for the next umpteen years.
Anyway, I have placed dates underneath each image and some details of equipment and seeing conditions. I wanted to produce one with the Celestron images also but they did not look right. Differing image scale made it look like Mars had suddenly shrunk.
I hope you enjoy.

****** Beautiful Mate :) - a fitting tribute to the 2005 opposition.
Must do something similar myself over the Hols.

Wonderful compilation along with fine individual efforts too. Something to be proud of, to print, frame and hang on the wall Paul.
Cheers

I liked the 12th Nov one for looking the most natural.
Awesome Mars Compilation Paul !!!!
The 30th (closest appr) gets me, the face looks dynamic and turbulant, almost moves before your eyes.

Well done Paul!
Mars is shrinking very quickly. The seeing condition in HK now is becoming worse and worse. So I have given up any imaging on it.
Keep on the work.

Thats a very serious effort there dude - what a great result :)
be able to look back at the triology of sweet oppositions when it is just a weeny gnat again
personally speaking, i missed having a good SPC visually this time around - its just not the same without a juicy SPC to me ;(
now bring on the 50"+ Jupiter's at opposition overhead in winter for southerners - thats me fave i think :)

Thanks Fellas,
LT Mars is shrinking very rapidly now.
I am glad you all like it. Putting together these things can be a bit of an effort. Thank you all for your kind words and contributions.
