My first ever Mars image.

Taken with a SAC7b (running on a Mac) and Konus 8" newtonian. Seeing was poor - 3/10. I had a hard time finding any usable frames for the stack - I only got 123 out of +900 - and the usable ones were mediocre at best.

Still, I am happy to have my first Mars image!

Comments appreciated!

Good shot Jake. My images with my SAC7b wasn't even close to that. The image was just a blob of white unreconizable mass. I thought the camera just couldn't get the detail. You have proved me wrong. I'll be trying again.
