Mars from Melbourne this morning March 13

[John K]

Hi guys,

Have not posted for a long time. Have been watching with interest all the amazing images of Mars and Saturn that you all have been posting.

Mars this morning at about 1:30am taken with my 12.5" f/5 and Skynyx 2.0 camera in typical Melbourne conditions 5-6/10 at best. About 800 R.G,B frames staked. Good to see the Red planet again after a long time.

Thanks for the comments guys. Did not think the seeing would be good tonight but it looks even better than last night but did not set up my scope! Bugger. Hope others are imaging!

Very nice detailed view John. Good to have you back.
All the best.

Welcome back John, great to see you imaging again.

Nicely detailed image. I am finding Mars tends to be easier to image and less forgiving of seeing conditions. This is mainly because most of the detail is in the red channel which does transmit easier through the atmosphere.
