This image is a compilation of my captured images of Mars during this years (2020) opposition season of Mars. All of the images were taken using a 8" SCT at 6764mm focal length (f33.3) with an Celestron Skyris 618C CCD. All of the images were taken with the same telescope at the same focal length so shows the size of the martian disc as it was closer, at opposition and further from Earth.

Hi All,
I finally got a chance to create this compilation image of my better captured images of Mars during this years (2020) opposition season of Mars.
All of the images were taken using a 8" SCT at 6764mm focal length (f33.3) with an Celestron Skyris 618C CCD.
All of the images were taken with the same telescope at the same focal length so shows the size of the martian disc as it was closer, at opposition and further from Earth.
I generally capture10x3500 frames at 60-80fps and stack and de-rotate the best 15%...ย

Hi All,
ย
Sharing some more Mars images, quite possibly the last images of Mars that I'll be spending time on capturing this season, but the last image, 14th November has something strange on it.. two streaks which look like smoke plume, volcanic like, smoke plumes being blown in a direction away from the eruption.... Is it possible that Mars is still active?

Hello all,
Sharing my latest image of Mars, taken with a Skyris 618C CCD through my C8 8" SCT at f33.
The size of Mars is already noticeably smaller than it was only a couple of weeks ago.

Hello all,
It's been a while since I posted any images on SGL, as I was collecting some Mars images during the opposition 2020 season.
I'm sharing with you my better quality collection of Mars images which I have imaged during September and October 2020.
For some reason I had many more nights where the seeing was so bad that my data was very blurry than nights where the detail was crips and I, either,ย threw out more images or gave up on imaging nights than ending up with a half decent image.
These images were taken with my Celestron 8" SCT using a Skyris 618C CCD at f33 (6700mm focal length) all riding on the CGEM and captured in Firecapture.
All images are De-Rotated stacks in WinJupos of the best 10% of frames from 10-20 90 second videos captured at 60 fps... number of videos I used was depended on the clarity of the atmosphere and image capture quality on the night.
The date and time written in the caption is in UTC and the median time when de-rotated.

Clear Skies,
MG
