First Mars for a few years

Rough test with extension tubes/ homemade EP adaptors
and one of my trusty SPC900 webcams.
This was only a prelim test without an IR filter to check
focus distance...I didn't quite expect to get any detail.

A more serious effort will now follow in the next month or so
just to record something from this apparition.
I haven't done any Mars stuff for yonks.

Not too bad Steve.
Mars is a tough target unless conditions are with you.

Good start Steve. I see you are using 9mm eyepiece projection, that is what I use to use in the 1980s with film camera. Thought it was a lost art, obviously not.

All the best.

Nice result Steve. The weather in Adelaide has been hopeless for the last couple of weeks. It had better improve soon with opposition only a month away.
