It is very likely to have clouds in Alberta for any celestial event of significance, no surprise if we are overcast for this episode of Moon and Mars conjunction. Here I have an image from last occurrence, You can see Mars at 11 O' Clock of moon.

Life on Mars? NASA says planet appears to have flowing water...
What will come out of this planet do not know, call it Earth's twin, I dare not think what has happened to....
I know it's enough worry about Our Planet, but the universe is too fascinating to me ....

After attending rocket launches in the Mojave Desert in California we headed to the Trona Pinnacles for sunset. I don't know why, but I suddenly got the feeling we got beamed up to Mars. Well, maybe in 50 years when humans start camping on Mars.
I processed balanced and paintery HDR photos separately from from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

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

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.
Mars will be at opposition on October 13th, but its already so bright in our sky and only getting brighter. I planned to use my planetary camera to get an up close view, but I had some technical difficulties last night. So I did what I often do, shoot the heavens with my 500mm lens!
Equipment:
Celestron CGEM Mount

My mount was polar aligned with SharpCap (what an amazing system for aligning). I'm not comfortable using my SCT as my lens yet. My solution is to piggyback my Sony a7RIII and adapted Nikkor 500mm f/4 P Ai-s on a ADM dovetail rail on the top of my optical tube. I used DeepSkyStacker to combine all frames and then processed the TIFF file in Photoshop. I stretched the 32 bit file just a bit, and sharpened quite a bit to make the diffraction spikes stand out. I brought it into Lightroom and used the selective hues to make Mars the color I wanted, a bit of texture added and then export.
Mars was imaged in Pisces on the evening of September 12, 2020. The planet is gaining in brightness as it nears its October 13, 2020 opposition. The image was made of 22 twenty second exposures taken with a full spectrum Canon 70D and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8L II lens. (ISO 800, f/3.5)
This uses 6 60s stacks each of R, G, and B filter images. The best 58% of frames in red stacks were used along with the best 42% of frames in green and blue stacks. Captured with a Celestron Edge HD 925 with a ZWO ASI120MM camera and Optolong RGB filters using FireCapture 2.5. Stacking done in AutoStakkert, initial processing in PixInsight, derotation and channel combination in WinJUPOS, final processing in Photoshop and Topaz Labs.
Central meridian on Mars is 25° in this image. The area explored by the Opportunity rover is just to the right of center, in that brighter peninsula that juts downward in the dark features. There's some interesting weather happening near the north polar cap (at top), and it looks like there are some clouds about to rotate into view at the lower left.
Now for something completely different. There are 3 ways to achieve vortex star trails though all require some sort of composite because otherwise the foreground is distorted.
1) In camera, yes it can be done. This requires that you build a device attached to a motor and gears to grab the zoom ring and make tiny changes to the zoom through a sequence of star field shots. Nobody sells such a device so only DIY. For me, no way, my mechanical abilities are zilch.
2) Take a sequence of star trail images over an hour or two and then in software shrink the image as each layer is added to duplicate the in camera zooming using either Photoshop actions or a script.
3) Take one image of a star field and again use software to duplicate and shrink to get the effect. For this image I went for number 3 using a Photoshop Script which can be downloaded free from liketheocean.com/night-photography/scripts-to-make-your-s...
To get my star field I used a single image taken for a standard star trails shot in nearby Arundel a few years ago. As there were not enough stars for the best effect I used copy of selections to a new image and cloning to get a denser star field and leave out the foreground. The script was run after selecting vortex. The foreground was taken in Lanzarote on a coach tour round the National Park where no other vehicles are allowed. The area shown in the image is appropriately enough called Tranquillity valley. The foreground was layered onto the star trails and combined using a layer mask and brush and a selection for precision

The history-making rotorcraft has recently been negotiating some of the most hazardous terrain it’s encountered on the Red Planet.
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has completed its 50th flight on Mars. The first aircraft on another world reached the half-century mark on April 13, traveling over 1,057.09 feet (322.2 meters) in 145.7 seconds. The helicopter also achieved a new altitude record of 59 feet (18 meters) before alighting near the half-mile-wide (800-meter-wide) “Belva Crater.”
This image of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was taken at “Airfield D” by the Mastcam-Z instrument on the Perseverance rover on June 15, 2021, the 114th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The rotorcraft completed its 50th flight on April 13, 2023.

Brilliant Mars is seen rising in the east in the constellation Capricornus on the night of July 7, 2018.
Our planetary neighbours are getting into the holiday spirit with this pair of festive silhouettes spotted by ESA’s Mars Express. The defined wings of an angelic figure, complete with halo, can be seen sweeping up and off the top of the frame in this image from Mars Express’ High Resolution Stereo Camera, while a large heart sits just right of centre. The dark colour of these two shapes is due to the composition of the constituent dune fields, which largely contain sands rich in dark, rock-forming minerals that are also found on Earth.
This image comprises data gathered by ESA’s Mars Express using its High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 8 November 2020 (orbit 21305). The ground resolution is approximately 15 m/pixel and the images are centred at about 148°E/78°S. This image was created using data from the nadir and colour channels of the HRSC. The nadir channel is aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, as if looking straight down at the surface. North is to the left.

The Maranjab Desert :
It is located by the city of Aran va Bidgol, one of the ancient desert cities of Isfahan province. It was once composed of two separate cities, Aran and Bidgol.
The Maranjab Desert is also close to Kashan. The city is surrounded by the desert on the north and east, and thus it has a typical climate of hot and dry in summer, cold and dry in winter, and very little rainfall during the year.

The Mars One Project
Mars One is a nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands that has proposed to land the first humans on Mars and establish a permanent human colony there by 2027. The private spaceflight project is led by Dutch entrepreneur "Bas Lansdorp", who announced the Mars One project in May 2012. The project's schedule, technical and financial feasibility, as well as ethics have been criticized by scientists, engineers and those in the aerospace industry.
Mars One's original concept included launching a robotic lander and orbiter as early as 2016 to be followed by a human crew of four in 2022. Organizers plan for the crew to be selected from applicants who paid an administrative fee, to become the first permanent residents of Mars with no plan of returning to Earth. Partial funding options include a proposed reality television program documenting the journey. In February 2015, the primary contractors on the first robotic mission had completed all studies paid for by Mars One.
The concept for Mars One began in 2011 with discussions between the two founders, Bas Lansdorp and Arno Wielders. The Mars One organization is the controlling stockholder of the for-profit Interplanetary Media Group.

I feel fine. Do I seem any different? That's not Kermit under the examination table, it's my pal Sad Kermit. There's a big difference. He has a lot of troubles and worries.I tried to warn him that space travel isn't for everyone but he hid onboard the GioHubble and it was too late by the time I found him.
I did give away my iPhone and iPod though, everything's built right into my microchip! Wheee!

This is the occultation of Mars by the Full Moon on December 7, 2022, in a composite showing the motion of Mars relative to the Moon. The motion here is from left to right. However, while this composite makes it look like Mars was doing the moving, it was really the Moon that was passing in front of Mars. But for this sequence I set the telescope mount to track the Moon at its rate of motion against the background stars and Mars, to keep the Moon more or less stationary on the frame while Mars and the background sky passed behind it.
Mars was at opposition this night and so was the Moon, so the Moon was full and Mars was at its brightest for this appearance in 2022. The size of the Martian disk was 17 arc seconds across this night and its magnitude was -1.8. Mars is twice the actual size of the Moon, but appears tiny here due to its greater distance — some 206 times farther away than the Moon. This night, the Moon was 397,000 kilometres away, near is apogee point, while Mars was 82 million kilometres away, a week after its closest approach.
This is a blend of 40 exposures (20 pre-ingress at left and 20 post-egress at right) that each contained the Moon and Mars. The Moon image here is a single exposure taken at the end of the sequence when the sky was clearest. However, for many of the images, especially pre-ingress, the Moon and Mars were in light cloud and haze, adding the glow around the Moon. The sky is from a blend of all the images.
I shot images at one per minute, but used only every second frame here, so the images are two minutes apart, taken over 40 minutes on ether side of ingress and egress.
Each is a unique image subject to varying seeing conditions blurring some of the Mars disks more than others. This is not a composite made of the same "best" Mars image copied and pasted along what its path should have been. Even so, I still had to adjust the alignment somewhat for each image, as the field still drifted out over several minutes of tracking, requiring me to recenter the field occasionally during the shoot, and to manually align images in Photoshop.
Exposures varied with the cloud cover but were from 1/200 to 1/40 sec, all with the Canon R5 camera at ISO 400 and on the Astro-Physics 130EDT refractor with a 2x Barlow for an effective focal length of 1560mm at f/12. I've processed the image for high contrast on the lunar disk (using a Subject mask in Camera Raw) to emphasize its lunar seas and bright ray structures, such as from the crater Tycho at bottom, a relatively recent impact. I also brought out the sky colours from the clouds for added effect.
Storm, desert, dunes, putting of the Sun, rain, etc.. Too many conditions in an alone instant, and I suppose that not very habitual.
Tormenta, desierto, dunas, puesta de sol, lluvia, etc.. Demasiadas condiciones en un solo instante, y supongo que no muy habitual.

The Full Harvest Moon sets at dawn. The lunar golden and orange hue matches the magenta-rich colors of the belt of Venus at sunrise. The setting Moon is not companionless: a spectacular conjuction of the Moon and Mars graces the sky. The Red Planet appears brighter in the sky and bigger than usual, as it will reach Opposition in a few days.
Both celestial bodies set above the Varlaam monastery (abbey), built in 1517-1518 on a 1,808 ft high (551 m) rock formation. The latter is only one of the many impressive and lofty rocks, collectively called Meteora, in Greece. The height of the sandstone megaliths ranges between 1,000-2,067 ft (300-630 m). The rock masses which were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites.
Lunar data: Waning gibbous phase, 98.3% illumination, 15.7 days’ age, -12.51 magnitude, 11° 57′ 14″ above horizon, at a 266° 42′ 43″ azimuth; distance from Earth: 406,206 km (close to its apogee, i.e. the point of its orbit farthest from Earth).
Data of Mars: -2.52 magnitude, 12° 43′ 42″ above horizon, at an azimuth of 267° 25′ 59″; distance from Earth: 0.42 AU
This is my first color attempt at Mars with my new planetary setup. I like what I've been able to do with Jupiter and Saturn so far, but Mars is tricky. I'm not sure if I "overcooked" the features here.

This sweeping view along a rusty red ridge and into a crater showcases the exquisite beauty of icy, layered terrain in the south polar region on Mars.
The High Resolution Stereo Imaging camera onboard ESA’s Mars Express captured this frosty scene in the Ultimi Scopuli region near the south pole of Mars on 19 May 2022. At this time it was southern hemisphere spring and ice was starting to retreat. Dark dunes began to peak through the frost and elevated terrain appears ice-free.
