Mars Oct 23rd 2020

[Space Cowboy]

My first planetary image for at least 3 years last night after brushing off the dust on my 250 flexttube Dob and scraping off the rust of my skills from the past! I was pleased just to capture Mars on the cam chip!

Used 5x powermate which was probably overkill for the cloudy and windy conditions. Think back in 2014 I used 3x powermate looking back.

Its not a show stopper but pleased to get this with the asi 224mc :

Taken at 22.22 ut :

Good to see you back on the board. A nice icebreaker considering the conditions.

Cheers guys! Might be  3 more years before I get another shot looking at the forecast!
