Finally the clouds moved away and Mars came out!
Here is my contribution to Mars opposition gallery.
Fingers crossed for the coming weeks.Data:
Meade LX200 10" Classic
Basler acA1920-155um
Baader Hyperion Zoom 2.25x Barlow lens
Baader IR-Pass Filter 1¼" (685 nm)
Basler Pylon5 64-bit for capture
AutoStakkert! + RegiStax for processing
It is my first time dealing with high resolution imaging (returned to hobby astronomy after a 14 years hiatus...), so comments and suggestions are extremely welcome!Clear Skies

After 14 years of pause I finally dug out my LX200 classic and started using it again!
The suggestions in the Stargazers forums were extremely valuable for bringing it back to life: especially the AutoFiLX200 + SkySafari combo proved to be very satisfying.
I am a bad visual observer, on top of that the light pollution in my area doesn't help. I am mainly interested in high-res imaging of planets and the sun: again, thanks to the info found here I was able to move the first steps in the field of lucky imaging, just in time for Mars opposition.I am a tinkerer by nature and already started experimenting and spending money in adapters and filters, but I believe that is a common issue ^_^.

Hello, finally this morning the clouds moved away and I took my chance to image the sun.
