Mars
This is Mars on August 29th, 2003, taken from a stack of video frames. With no way to hook the video camera up to my telescope, I put the camera on a tripod and pointed it down to the eyepiece. I ended up getting a cpl of hours of video over a few weeks. I then took a 10 second clip and ran it through a program called Registax. Registax takes the best frames of the video, and stacks them on top of each other to bring out subtle markings.
