Description

Mars under very poor conditions.

The conditions were far from ideal with considerable smoke/haze and seeing that was worse then usual at about a 2/5. There were also occasional wind gusts. However, I’m pleased with the fact that all was not lost and it was worth the effort. I captured 10,000 frames of each RGB using a ASI ZWO 290MM with filter wheel. The scope was set up in the f8 configuration using a 2x Barlow yielding an EFL of about 5300mm.

It appears to me that Olympus Mons is visible at 1:30 towards the edge.

Processing was done with FireCapture, AutoStakkert, Maxim DL, PS, and Topaz.
