If you look closely at Mars you can see a face of an elderly man :-o
I was lucky again the following night to get a few minutes of steady seeing to capture some videos of Mars and was very surprised to see so much detail on the surface. You can clearly see the large plain of Syrtis Major in the images even though the planet is still a long way away from Earth.
Mars will be at opposition on the 8th December so it will grow in size over the next couple of months, as it gets closer to Earth.
My images were taken at ‘My Stardust Observatory’ with a Meade LX200 GPS 10inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a ZWO ASI 120MC camera with a 3x Barlow lens attached. AVI videos were captured and stacked in RegiSta6 and processed in PS CS4.
