Mars 14th March above avg seeing

[johnh]

SPX350 F39.1, PGRFlea3, Baader rgb, 742nm filters.

Break in clouds gave a 15min gap in which a light mist settled over Mars dimming it slightly but steadying the seeing.  Image shows Olympus Mons centre bright cloud with cloud over Tharsis and Chryse. on the right side.  This is my best image so far.

I had a quick go of saturn in fair seeing later on.

Mars RGB-1356hrs UT

Mars red

Saturn R RGB-1642hrs UT

Saturn IR-1652hrs UT.

Thanks, John.

Really nice images.

I was just wondering how are mars and saturn looking through the eyepiece? I'm having to sell my 8" dob before the end of the month and have never seen them before, so will be on the next clear morning
