Mars Mar 5th 14:30 UT

There was some reasonable seeing last night before the clouds came in at 1am. Seeing was better than average, I estimate 7/10 at times, reasonably stable but "soft".

Still, I got some Mars at opposition so I am pretty happy. This is an RGB, and an IR. C11 + Orion LRGB filters + 2x barlow + spacer + DMK21AU04 camera. Both are scaled by 1.3x, but the IR is larger because I extended the spacer to the limit.

Hope you are all enjoying this Mars opposition as much as I am.
