Description

This image is taken with a cheap achromatic refractor, so it took a little more work to post process the image in order to remove the weak achromatic abberation and the yellow tint that this type of optics produce.

Also, Mars was only about 35 degrees high in the sky and seeing was pretty bad.

So I believe that I can get a better result in the future.

I don't have an Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) yet, so that should improve the results as well.

The image was taken through a 3x Barlow lens bringing the focal ratio to f/28.

Diameter=22.19"

Resolution=0.12"
