Hi:

I imaged Mars last night at 1:55 UT, CM = 84. It's only 9.9" now. Meade 10" SCT at F/27 (6850mm). SPC900NC - no filters. 300/3000 in RegiStax 4.

Take it easy, Dan 8)

Dan, great shot considering its size. Mars is peaking in the sky around 7:30pm these nights, not much time for the scope to cool down. I may have decent seeing Sunday night. Thanks for posting

Regards,
Steve
