I spotted this duck making his way across a pond covered in a red weed, it didn't seem to bother it and I was very surprised at how quickly his trail was closed over again by the weed.
Reminded me of living on a red planet like Mars!

Philippine MARS on long final for a emergency landing at Pat Bay. We were driving just outside Cowichan Bay when she came over the highway low and slow. I just had time to pull over, grab my camera and got this shot.
Bitterly cold here but thankfully seeing conditions were conducive to me imaging Mars on opposition day. Poor weather in the early hours meant I was unable to image Mars being occluded by the moon.
Some nice detail is visible including the bright area left-most in the image which is the shield volcano Olympus Mons the largest volcano in the solar system. It rises over 72,000ft or 21.9km! The complex is roughly the size of Poland! It
The curve of the Solis Lacus the so-called "Eye of Mars" (hopefully for obvious reasons!) is visible towards the lower right.
Bluish ice clouds are visible to the lower left limb and on the right limb of the image. The North Polar Hood cloud (top) is still present but is showing signs of degradation.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and an Explore Scientific Focal Extender. I used separate Baader RGB filters and a ZWO 290MM camera. The filtered images were combined and derotated using Winjupos.
Thanks for looking!!
Spent a couple hours chasing the Mars around Sproat Lake as he did some training. Pretty awesome to see this thing in action!
Mars is at it's closest approach to Earth until 2035. It's still 39 million miles away though. This is my second attempt at capturing a planet and while its not as good as others I've seen I'm happy with the amount of detail I was able to pull out of the bright red dot in the sky.
Equipment:
Celestron CGEM Mount
Celestron Edge HD 800 Scope
ZWO ASI290MC Camera
Altair 60mm Guide scope
GPCAM2 Mono Camera
Acquisition:
Taos, NM: my backyard - Bortle 3
11:45pm, Mars high in the sky.
I shot 100,000 frames at 3 milliseconds averaging ~333fps throughout the imaging session.
Software:
SharpCap
Autostakkert!3
Registax
Photoshop
I began the evening polar aligning my scope with my guide scope/cam and SharpCap. After viewing some objects, and waiting for Mars to rise high in the sky, I put on a jacket, hat and set out to get everything ready. After locating Mars with the camera on my computer screen I fiddled with settings to try to get to 3 milliseconds for my exposures. I realized my focus wasn't perfect so I slewed the scope to a nearby star, Hamal. I used a bahtinov mask to get it as focused as I could and took the scope back to Mars. I got my setting dialed in and began to record. I did several sessions each being just under a minute of recording to get the 100,000 frames at 333fps. I then packed up and went to bed. - Today I used Autostakkert!3 to analyze each frame in my videos. I settled on one session that had high quality frames, since I shot so many I decided to really narrow it down to the best and told the program to stack the best 10%, or 10,000 frames. After stacking was complete I brought the outputted file into Registax. Using their processing tools I tweaked the histogram, color and then used the most powerful set of tools in the program, wavelets. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I know what makes an image "good". So I messed with each layer adding sharpness and de-noise until I got what I feel is a balance between resolution and not making the whole thing look like a digital artifact. I saved that as a TIFF and brought it into photoshop for some color tweaks, a bit of structure in Viveza and a last little bit of sharpness.
I present to you my take on Mars at opposition, 2020.

A fire lookout I do volunteer maintenance on in Washington's Pacific Northwest.
Mars was at opposition and brightening at retrograde.
This is a view of Mount Ngauruhoe (2291 m) shot from its opposite, Mount Tongariro (1978 m). The volcanic soil makes the entire landscape seem like from another planet. Change the sky and we might as well be on Mars :)

Esta es una vista del pico Ngauruhoe (2291 m) captada desde el pico Tongariro (1978 m). El suelo volcánico hace que todo el paisaje parezca de un planeta distinto. Cambia el cielo y podría parecer que estamos en Marte :)

.Mars. - Niono Whiteboard
Niono is just onion basically cause I am sick of naming things
These whiteboards come in two versions, one is simple, you just gotta edit the full perm texture if you want to make it your unique lil board, the other version uses media to load in a handy online whiteboard that you can use real time instead of all that.
No, Erica... I don't care about PBR that much, especially in cases when it's unneccesary, please leave my family alone.

Esta semana Marte se encuentra en su punto más cercano a la Tierra. Un fenómeno astronómico que no se volverá a repetir hasta 2035, ya que el planeta rojo está a unos 62 millones de kilómetros de nosotros, una distancia que, si bien parece increíblemente grande, coloca a nuestro vecino a simple vista, sin tener que utilizar telescopios o prismáticos.
This week Mars is at its closest point to Earth. An astronomical phenomenon that will not be repeated until 2035, since the red planet is about 62 million kilometers from us, a distance that, although it seems incredibly great, places our neighbor in plain sight, without having to use telescopes or binoculars.

A capture of the Moon and Mars conjunction on Sunday 9th Feb 2025. Although not the best image as i was only using my 70-200mm lens at 150mm, I think it is still not bad considering the heavy crop.

In the middle of the huge period with closed/rainy weather (which has been going on for more than 3 weeks) in the region where I live, there was a beautiful opening on the night of the 10th to the 11th, when I took the opportunity to make some planetary records. When Mars's turn came, unfortunately the time closed again, right at the beginning, making it impossible to capture more frames.
