Description

Here is my little project for this opposition. Mars as seen over the past six months from September until February.  I found interesting how the "apparent phase" changes as the planet is getting closer to opposition and finally runs away from us. Many features are visible, some of them are very famous like Gale crater, Valles Mariners and Olympus Mons. Very challenging weather conditions and average seeing didn't allow me for more sessions, having said that I am quite happy about the results considering that almost all images are taken with a "small" C8. A spacial thanks to Francesco Cuccio, without him and his wonderful C11 I would have missed the opposition on the December 8th.
