Clive Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 You've definitely captured an image of a face there, a sign of life on Mars? ☺ +Derbyshire Dave and +RonC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magellan Boy Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 That's a great shot Dave, considering the poor seeing conditions. Mars was really wobbling about in our GPCAM 327C last night at the Derby & District AS observing evening! +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Some good detail on that one Dave. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Good result Dave considering last nights iffy seeing. We were up in WW for a session. We had some decent views at times, but by and large, not the best of conditions. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 stunning hope to get a look at Mars at opposition +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dobber Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Nice, I decided to try and test my mount out on DSO rather than swing over to Mars - wish I had now, the mount is not behaving! Out of interest, what is this "WW" people are referring to?? +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 That is a cracking image Dave despite the conditions. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Nice capture Dave, I was looking at Mars last night and I could see those dark features using the Baader Neodymium filter, best views of Mars I've ever had 😃. I've never been much of a planetary observer but I thought i would have a go last night as Mars looked so bright. I managed to see both Uranus and Neptune for the first time ever too, nothing much to see but it was good to finally see them. +Bino-viewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 That’s a great image Dave, lots of light and dark contrasts and good to see the polar cap! I am really looking forward to spending some time looking at Mars over he next month or so 👍 +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the good additional thing about planetary is that you can try and do it in breaks in the clouds .. as opposed to needing a lots of continuous time for DSO's Smithysteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
