First Mars for a few years

[kinetic]

Rough test with extension tubes/ homemade EP adaptors
and one of my trusty SPC900 webcams.
This was only a prelim test without an IR filter to check
focus distance...I didn't quite expect to get any detail.

A more serious effort will now follow in the next month or so
just to record something from this apparition.
I haven't done any Mars stuff for yonks.

Not too bad Steve.
Mars is a tough target unless conditions are with you.

Good start Steve. I see you are using 9mm eyepiece projection, that is what I use to use in the 1980s with film camera. Thought it was a lost art, obviously not.

All the best.

Nice collection Steve:thumbsup:

Nice result Steve. The weather in Adelaide has been hopeless for the last couple of weeks. It had better improve soon with opposition only a month away.
