Mars 2hrs after Curiosity landing

For some reason I couldn't image Mars at the time Curiosity landed this afternoon - contrast and transparency were shocking at 3:31pm in Brisbane

Here is an attempt about 2 hrs later when conditions vastly improved but the rover had gone over the limb by then....

Canon EOS 600D, 5x Powermate, 2x Barlow, 12" SkyWatcher Goto Dobsonian, manually tracked.

Cheers,

Tom
