Mars.

Finally! A night with no stinking clouds!! woo-hoo! :prey2:

Gee, mars is getting smaller but still detail present. Had to be quick & get it just after sunset before it sunk down into the murk. This image is a bit of a shocker & probably shouldn't have posted it but what the heck! ;)

Seeing was average: perhaps 7/10.

530 frames stacked.

Well done Asi! I admire your persistence! I haven't even bothered to try to look at Mars for the past month or so. Your pic has inspired me to try at the next opportunity. ;)

well done Asi mate... :) did you stack the barlows or resample up to get the image scale here? Of course, you've thrown down the gauntlet now... I had just about decided to close my Mars season with the last shot, but now I'll have to go one more :P - probably through trees, cloud, spider webs, sunset glare etc, but it must be done;)

Hi guys, thanks for the comments.

No Rob, I only have one barlow...& the 12" long extension tube...nah! it ain't that long lol.

I resampled at 1.3X..I'm going to hand stack that AVI to try to get a better final image.

By all means mate! take another stab at mars & post it!....;) :P But you know what will happen don't you?? :D:whistle: :)
