Description

A very bright Mars East the meridian. Shot with the Olympus 4/3 for a number of reasons. Small chip with a smaller pixel size of 3.74 microns . Twas deceptively difficult to centre on the chip with an effective focal length of 7620mm using a 3 x Televue Barlow.

Unfortunately the seeing was bad to average . Happy enough with the surface detail. Cheers.

Planetary imaging is not easy IMHO......
