Hey Asi, it's not over yet, I want to see you turn that C9.25 onto little red before it's last hurrah. Amazing stuff, it's well smaller than Mercury and not much bigger in angular size than Uranus at the moment
Yes, dead ringer for a pea isn't it. Not one ounce of orange or red to be seen on the laptop, (not sure why) but I shot it anyway. I'm only interested in getting the detail so the rest doesn't concern me. It's a nasy looking photo to be sure but I'm pleased I got any detail at all, considering.
rob and asi have been at mars for a while. like a couple of dogs with a bone that is now been chewed down to the grissle.
it is an institution only , nothing scientific, or earth shattering, just some typical male behaviour in finding something funny in the smallest of things. Just thinking of this whole "chase mars to zero" between ron and asi has the biggest grin on my dial!!!
Hey Asi, there's a break between the branches of the iron-bark near the fork.... maybe with some daylight imaging and if the tail end of Larry and Watti bugger off I'm still in with a chance
BTW The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the scopes out warming UP to ambient.......
not yet, but I'm well on the way
wind is blowing, clouds are swirling, rain is well not raining right now, scopes are tucked up under covers under the house along with a yet to be used phillips sps 900nc
When I said you were mad I meant Mad, in the way they said Edmund Hillary was mad when he went to conquer Everest.
Not mad like Van Gogh who lost the plot after reaching his creative boundries.
But if you get an urge to start lopping off your ear when Mars goes over the horizon, I might have to change my mind.
.......
It's only the size of a pea now!
I thought the definition of madness was trying to image a planet in broad daylight & it was half the size of a pea?
Your mad Robert.
