Mars (18/10/2022)

Just one imaging run for Mars, as after trying for half an hour it was getting too frustrating 😆 Not familiar with Mars’ features yet, but I believe I’ve got Syrtis major planum and a small dark patch above it. Is that Antapes Colles? 

8” dob (manual), asi462.

Lovely image of Mars 😀

Nice Mars image. Syrtis Major is the dark triangular region on the right, which extends towards Sinus Sabaeus and possibly Sinus Meridiani on the left. The bright orange circular region in the south is the huge impact crater Hellas Planitia.

Lovely information, thanks!

Nice and very clear picture of Hellas - the only place on Mars where liquid water is stable on the surface.

Some lovely details visible there, looking forward to getting nearer opposition and more details visible
