My last Mars for 2018

[MarsG76]

Hi all,

I finally got the time to process my final capture of Mars for this season, captured on 10 & 21 September.

The thing that I am stoked about it the fact that the Tharsis volcanoes and Olympus Mons showed up... as well as Valles Marinares as a fuzzy squiggle.

The view through the eyepiece was also amazing both nights also, seeing allowed me the magnify Mars upto 370X (at times I pushed it to 406X and still looked awesome) in my 8" SCT without it becoming blurry, it was still sharp and also massive in the eyepiece.

Clear skies.

I assume that it's my last as Mars is getting far away from us... Of course if I happen to have a super clear night in the near future, I'll grab another one or two images....

I'm going to try to stretch it out to December, to complete another collage, though it's getting disappointingly smaller.  Just a few shots each month. Well, see, lol. 

Thanks for posting the images

It's getting a little higher as well as far away. I may have one more go....
