Hi guys:

Last night was the 2007 Opposition of Mars, I captured twenty seven avi's, here's a color composite from video #13 taken at 10:25pm CST on December 24th, with the Red Planet showing a 284 degree central meridian, seeing was decent for a change. This is from a 3 minute avi recorded at 10fps taken through an SPC900 and UV/IR filter attached to my 10" SCT at F/27. 147/1900 processed in R4. I plan on assembling some larger and smoother stacks later.

Take it easy, Dan 8)
