Hi everyone - I've been away to my first ever star camp, it was in Ballarat which is about 6 hours drive from home. First 3 days were a washout but then on the last night of the camp we got virtually 10/10 conditions, out of nowhere.
Here's a mars image from that night, imaged when Mars was only about 31 degrees above the horizon and 2 hours past transit. The air was incredibly still and transparent.
Equipment:
10" f/6 newtonian w/ 5x powermate and extension tube
Dragonfly Express camera + RGB filters and filter wheel.
Stacked approx 1500 frames in each colour
regards, Anthony
