Well this is better than all my previous Mars shots despite the seeing. Mars has got real big in the last 4 weeks. Just as a comparison I will include a previous image.

well done Paul especially since you say the seeing was ordinary
Obviously resistance is futile..will have to try Mars myself one of these nights--- even though I don't expect to have anything good enough to post, going by my past attempts at planets
Hey thanks guys, am especially glad because if you look hard enough toward the North I think I got Olympus Mons also, it is a little white spot near the northern polar hood.
Yeah weather conditions have been aweful, pity you don't live closer you could come down and we could image together. Thanks for the praise. Hopefully we can all get together soon and have a night of imaging and viewing.
Yeah, I'm certainly just that bit too far away from Adealaide to get there very often. My forced early retirement makes it that much harder as well. I'm happy with my photographic results from a cheap kodak though. Now that I've learnt how to take AVI & stack etc. I'm just waiting for Saturn to come around. I know I can get acceptable results from the gas giants.
Hey thanks Gary, just dumb luck with the M42, been reading your articles too, wish you had been able to go into more depth, but was still good to see local imput.
Asimov, if you are in town ever, give me a email first and we could catchup. Saturn is slowly making its way back to us or should I say we are making our way around to it. I hope opposition this year is a little better than last year.
