Hi Everyone,

Here is an image of Copernicus that I took after imaging Mars on the morning of July 29, 2005. It's my best image of Copernicus to date and I'm pleased with the results.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/25
TeleVue 2.5x Powermate
Phillips ToUcam 840
Edmund Optics R+IR band filter
Seeing 5/10
Frames= 314/1215 @ 10fps
Taken at 9:25 UT on July 29, 2005

Thanks,

Ed Roach
