Mars Oct.16 first try at planetary imaging

Post by ic_1101 »


Hi all. This is my first attempt at planetary imaging and since Mars is close to opposition I gave it a try.
Captured with an asi224mc on the VRC8 with a televue 2.5x for a focal length of 4062mm. Took the best 30% of 9936 frames.
Thanks for looking and comments an suggestions welcomed.
