First Mars for over 3 weeks

[johnturley]

After 3 weeks of incessant cloud and rain finally got a decent view of Mars last night.

The attached photo was taken at approximately 23.00 BST on 22.10.20. from a movie file with my Canon 6D digital SLR using eyepiece projection through my 14in Newtonian, and processed using PIPP, Registax, and Lightroom. 

The image size was limited due using a full frame digital SLR, but it does show Aurorae Sinus, and Solis Lacus quite nicely, the latter appeared quite prominent visually about an hour later, especially through my Esprit 150.

Reprocessed the image in PIPP with the Cropping function enabled which gives a larger image scale.
