Yes, it is very low but Tim will be using the the Deep Impact spacecraft tomorrow, Oct 23rd to image Mars for a full rotation and he needs the amateur data now, well as often as possible over the next two weeks, so I am doing the best that I can. I have managed to image it three mornings out of the last five thus far.

It sure stands out in the morning sky.
I,m working 50 klm,s south of Wanaaring now so the skies are super dark.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers Kev.

Thanks Kev, there sure is nothing like the night sky from the outback.

Thanks Lester, yes, looking forward to opposition. I have not previously imaged Mars with the DMK so I am getting an early start in sorting out my technique for capturing it.
