Description

My usual assemblage (I have done three previously, for 2016, 2018 and 2020) showing my better images (to scale) of Mars as it approached and receded. This opposition was problematic for me - the altitude of the planet was low in the Northern sky, and we had lots of cloud as a consequence of La Nina. Seeing was generally poor, and even apparently clear nights usually had a veil of high cloud.

Images were captured with a C14 Edge HD, except for 11 December where I travelled to Byron Bay with my old 8SE.

Cameras were a mix of mono (ZWO290MM) and colour (ZWO485MC, 462MC). I used Barlows and (for OSC) an ADC.
