Mars from Melbourne this morning Jan 8th

Hi everyone,

and Happy New Year.

Got my first imaging session of Mars this morning under average seeing conditions but quite pleased with the size of Mars after not having imaged the planet for several years. Should be amazing within a few months.

As usual, the Blue channel was the most challenging to process.

1000 frames in Red (attached) and RGB (attached) processed.

Shot with a 12.5 f/5 scope and Skynix 2.0 camera using a 5 x Barlow from Brunswick, Melbourne.

Clear skies,

John K.
