Got up this morning to take some images of the GRS transit on Jupiter, but now that jupiter is rising earlier, at 4am it's further in the west and behind some tall gumtrees in my backyard.
So I decided to image Mars instead
It's small, but it's got a polar cap!
I've resized these 2x just to make them a bit bigger. In the eyepiece, it's still barely a disc. It was also quite low still and the atmospheric turbulance was shocking.
Anyway maybe i'll do a mars a month until opposition, just to see how much closer and bigger it gets as it approaches november opposition.
Thanks for looking
