Mars, 17th Nov

Hi guys.

Here's my image of Mars from last Thursday night, the same night I got my first Saturn. I only just got around to processing these.

The seeing was ok, not the best but I'm still fairly happy with the detail I got, including the first time I've captured the "tear drop" feature so something must be going right.

I captured for 5 minutes (3000 frames @ 10fps) and this image is a stack of 982 frames, processed in Registax and AstraImage.

Hellas and Syrtis Major are rising on the right hand side of this image.

Thanks

i can't wait!

It is so strange, but it seems like the close encounter is long gone, but the photos (except birds) seem to be getting better

Hi Mike, that's a fine image, lots of subtle detail and yet still natural looking!

good stuff!!!

Well done Mike.
Your up there with the best mate.
That's easily your best I think from memory.

So much detail.

and the colours are striking.

What's the tear drop feature you mention?
