I wasn't going to do any planetary photography last night because the forecast indicated a cloudy night but when I went out to bring some clothes in off the line, the cloud looked like it was clearing. Couldn't resist grabbing the EQ5 mount and the 8 inch Newt to set up a quick grab of Mars. I used a Sony RX100M3 and tried an afocal shot with a 3mm eyepiece then finished off with my old Canon 550d with a 5x Powermate. Seeing was reasonable.
