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.

*Sighs* Gotta go back to romancing Astarion now in BG3 D:
Le désespoir est assis sur un banc
Dans un square sur un banc
Il y a un homme qui vous appelle quand on passe
Il a des binocles et un vieux costume gris
Il fume un petit ninas il est assis
Et il vous appelle quand on passe
Ou simplement il vous fait signe
Il ne faut pas le regarder
Il ne faut pas l’écouter
Il faut passer
Faire comme si on ne le voyait pas
Comme si on ne l’entendait pas
Il faut passer presser le pas
Si vous le regardez
Si vous l’écoutez
Il vous fait signe et rien personne
Ne peut vous empêcher d’aller vous asseoir près de lui
Alors il vous regarde et sourit
Et vous souffrez atrocement
Et l’homme continue de sourire
Et vous souriez du même sourire
Exactement
Plus vous souriez plus vous souffrez
Atrocement
Plus vous souffrez plus vous souriez
Irrémédiablement
Et vous restez lÃ
Assis figé
Souriant sur le banc
Des enfants jouent tout près de vous
Des passants passent
Tranquillement
Des oiseaux s’envolent
Quittant un arbre
Pour un autre
Et vous restez lÃ
Sur le banc
Et vous savez vous savez
Que jamais plus vous ne jouerez
Comme ces enfants
Vous savez que jamais plus vous ne passerez
Tranquillement
Comme ces passants
Que jamais plus vous ne vous envolerez
Quittant un arbre pour un autre
Comme ces oiseaux.

A fire lookout I do volunteer maintenance on in Washington's Pacific Northwest.
Mars was at opposition and brightening at retrograde.
Explore #23
The streetlights saturated the colours on the rocks. The path & rail reminded me of a Space Ships gang plank (you know, ala Battlestar Galatica) & the LTE gave the foggy effect.
I actually toned the colours down in post processing because the water was a shade of purple.

.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 increÃblemente 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.

Mars rising over the Sangre de Cristo mountains near Taos, New Mexico. Mars is at opposition meaning it's closer to Earth than usual. This once is special becasue it's very close. It won't be this close again until 2035.
Viking mars a brand new ship built very recently , getting re fuelled by
Coral Water , and at the bow ,passing alongside is the pilot boat .
Mars is no longer dusty and the north polar cap has dense cloud cover - very impressive, despite the modest diameter. Variable seeing.

Il pianeta rosso adorna la costellazione del Toro, sorgendo ad est poco dopo Orione. L'Auriga, con la brillante stella Capella, la capretta, chiude questo improvvisato asterismo, mentre la costellazione del Perseo si avvia a conquistare lo Zenith, il punto più alto sull'orizzonte.
