Description

Imaged Mars on the night of January 30, 2023 (January 31st in UTC) under average to below average seeing and average transparency.  Mars' disc had a diameter of 10.8" and a visual magnitude of -0.3 at this time.  Some albedo features, but not detail clearly identifiable through the atmospheric soup on this night...

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 325 and an exposure of 3 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 10% of ~25000 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6.  De-rotated and combined 3 sub images in WinJupos.
