my first mars

I just packed it in after cloud came rolling in so I gave up.

was having a few unusual problems like the planet just disappearing from the screen as if a cloud was moving across yet was still easily visible with the eye, must be enough cloud to block it out.

Anyway the shots,

these where the only 2 good ones out of the 14.

captured with the LPI and envisage
Skywatcher 10" reflector
Eq6 Pro (almost typed HEQ5)
5x Barlow
the really old crappy laptop, which took a few attempts to install the Meade software (could have had an extra 20 minutes out there)
