OXO Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 HI Everyone,I managed to get out last night and image Mars 20 hours before opposion and got a cracking view dispite the clouds and poor seeing.Couldnt resist imaging it of course so here's some images for you rather happy with the results . Would of got more but for those pesky clouds...I can see dust storms on these image's or at least thats what i think they are..Here's a pic from September the 17th using the same setup and shows it's increase in size and the image is of the same part of Mars well nearly. I think my imaging got better .RegardsJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
