Dear everyone,

Here's the mars image from 22nd August 2003. Mars has reached 25" and 5 more days to max size.

This is also my first image using the 40cm pentax cassegrain at the Singapore Science Center Observatory.

Please note the limb haze as well as clouds over sytris major.

Special thanks to those that help me back with my "feeling" during processing. The beauty of astronomy is such that we all share what we have with the rest.

Regards
Wei Leong

Very nice image - I bet that 400mm Pentax scope is fun to use!

Thanks for posting that here.
