Here's a shot of 11 arcsec diameter Mars
from Winter Star Party last week. Breezy conditions
made for merely "good" seeing, though there were some
moments with very nice image detail.

Exposure details:
02/07/2008 3:17-3:28 UT from Winter Star Party 2008
StarMaster 16" F4.3 on Tom O. Equatorial Platform
TeleVue 5x Powermate
Baader UV/IR cutoff filter
Lumenera SKYnyx 2-1C color camera, 19fps, 51msec/frame
1500 of 10000 frames
Aligned and stacked in K3CCD v3
Wavelet processing in Registax 4.0

Beautiful image John!

Everytime you come back from the WSP you bring nice presents: I still remember a Saturn you posted sometime ago that was probably the best I've seen so far!

Thanks for sharing John.
