Mars in Mono
Taken with my AS120MM-mini guide scope and Skywatcher 130PDS. Video done in Sharpcap, processed in Autostakkert and sharpened in Registack.
I tend to put my money into deep sky gear which left me short of a few filters for this years Mars pass. My thinking was that it will be a couple more years before Jupiter and Saturn get back into a position that I can take it.
This pic is much better than my previous attempt of Mars with a clear distinction between the north and south. You can also make out the icecap. I perhaps need to change the exposure time as the top half has a strange semi circle which is definitely not natural.
Prior attempt from 2014:- www.flickr.com/photos/andrewsingleton/13949471804/in/albu...
