. . Dear fella Mars observers, Attached is my latest shot from
this morning.
Seeing was almost perfect for the
duration of these images. I also did a visual observation of Mars after imaging
at 777x and the disc was perfect (almost) still. I also could see the airy disc
and 1st diffraction ring completely stable while collimating the scope which
lead me to believe that the seeing was perfect.
I've
just returned from a week of business trip from Kyoto, Japan. I could continue
to image due to the good seeing but I was too tired to do
so.
The
images are a little disappointing mostly due to the poor optics of my Celestron
C11. Anyone care to spare me a good scope for this
opposition?
Please
let me know if you have any comments regarding the images. Regards and Clear
Skies

. . . . .Attached is my new Mars image from
this morning.
There
appears to be some difference in the cloud/haze structures near to the two poles
and hellas.
Seeing
was good to very good (7-8/10) There seems to be lots of details and I am still
trying to identify all of them. Very interesting when you compare images one day
apart and notice the difference in the cloud structure. You have a die hard Mars
fan from now.
It's
clear here again and seems possible for another set of images but I am really
too tired to do anything, I will try. Best Regards
