Description

This is a compilation of images of Mars from 13 imaging sessions over the course of the 2020 apparition. I added a pointer to the location of the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover landing site in Jezero Crater which is prominent in the image taken on October 9, 2020 when Mars was near closest approach to Earth this apparition. Congratulations to the Mars 2020 team on the successfully landing today, can't wait to see the images and discoveries to come...

All images captured with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give ~F/20 (~0.18 arcsec/pixel). Image capture using Firecapture with gain typically set at 300 and an exposures typically in the neighborhood of 2 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 5% of ~70,000 frames captured over 240 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. De-rotated and combined multiple images (typically 3) in Winjupos.
