Re: Mars on September 5, 2020
Yeah - 2018 was a real bust for me because of the global dust storm. 2020 should be much better for many reasons: Mars is still pretty close (not as close as 2018 when it was 24" in size, but 22" in size is still large), it's much higher in the sky (

Re: Mars on September 5, 2020
Hi Mikey, congratulations on the APOD . It is a special image indeed. Very beautiful. I suppose it's the angle of the planet in the frame that makes for this wonderful sense of presence. A fine presentation of a planet floating in space. Quite magnificent.

Re: Mars on September 5, 2020
Thanks much, I struggle a lot with getting a respectable planetary image. I've seen others work blow me away, but I try anyway. Once my Televue 4x arrives I'll image again and see what 'pops' out. As they say, planetary imaging is 'lucky imaging'.

Re: Mars on September 5, 2020
Hi Mikey. This is a great Mars image here. I love the color and the surface marking details. You did a great job with the ASI462MC camera and the EdgeHD11 scope. This is among the very best that I have seen on here. Thanks for sharing this with us Mikey, and congratulations on winning the the TSS APOD Award today.
