Mars and Comet Siding Spring
A few images from last night.
One single 2 minute sub shows the Comet being bisected by a satellite.
The other two images are stacked pics.
Camera - CDS1100D
Scope - HiOptic 127mm refractor

I also added a shot I took from the 18th.

I had a visual attempt at this last night, but as expected, without success. It looks like it will be a few days until we get visuals from the Mars probes.

There's been some lovely pics coming in from our CIOC Siding Spring group.
It's been a pleasure to work with some of the very best Amateurs as well as the Pro's during this encounter.
