Mars and Saturn in good seeing
Mars and Saturn in beautiful seeing last night from southern Sydney (24th). My best images yet, if not quite up to some of the wonderful images on here, but may be close to the limit of my 200mm scope.
Mars is showing some nice weather, with a white patch of late afternoon clouds on Elysium Mons on the lower left, clouds filling the Hellas Basin at the top, and dark features including the large Syrtis Major patch looking just a little like India in the centre. It's late afternoon on Gale Crater, and Curiosity Rover, which is above Elysium Mons near the left edge, and it's morning for Oppy, near the right edge!
Mars - stacks of the best 2,000 from 13,000 frames, Saturn, best 1,000 from 5,000. 200mm f/5 Newtonian, barlowed to f/30, ZWO ASI185MC camera.
