Mars 19th September 2022

[Kon]

Mars from this morning with excellent seeing. Some nice features are coming. If I am correct this is Mare Sirenum and a nice cloud in the polar cap. 8" Dob, manual, asi462mc, 2.5x TV powermate. 1.5x drizzle.

Very Nice Kon. Mars slowly increasing in size. Looks like you got a steady capture

Thanks Neil. Yes the 19th seems to have been the best weather for me this year for planetary, even the Jupiter I posted yesterday was my best so far. Mars is getting bigger and better to get details, I am quite pleased on the several features captured.

Thanks. I am still learning but I am finding that if the seeing is good, then it is easier to pull these details. Worth giving it a try.
