Hi All, had enough sky tonight to take a few avis of Mars as it reached zenith. These again using the Takahashi Mewlon 180.
Seeing was poor to average getting better (but then cloud
). I tried out using the shorty barlow without it's lens as a 30mm extension on the 2.5 powermate. Processed in registstax and ME deconvolution in Astra Image. Might do some further processing etc tomorrow to see if I can improve on this.
The main dark albedo feature is Syrtis Major and the paler area above it is Hellas.
cheers,
