Amazing result! I tried Mars last night, but I was only at 600mm FL as my target was Uranus and the Moon together, so no good results on Mars.

Thank you very much. Fortunately, there is still a lot of time for experiments with Mars - and the planet will continue to increase its angular size for some time, so it should be better and better 🙂

Mars October 27. I've always considered artificial enlargement of photos to be barbaric. By chance, however, I discovered that when I enlarged this image to 150% of its original size, I could see the Olympus Mons right in the vicinity of the terminator. However, the volcano cannot be seen in the photo in a 1: 1 scale.

An interesting discovery that contradicts all the rules of photo processing that I was ready to defend so far 🙂

Overdue photo from November 10th. In the center, the Valles Marineris area is visible:

Those are great images of Mars, lets hope the weather stays clear for the next few days and you can grab a closer one.
