I had a good morning with the Celestron C9.25 and Mars. Imaged with a TeleVue 3X barlow and a Phillips 840k webcam.

Very nice capture Russell smile and very nice processing too.

It appears as you may have the conditions to increase the f ratio. I believe that you could use a 5X barlow with Mars as you got plenty of light. I would push the focal length to 15,000 mm or similar. In that situation, the only limiting factor would become the seeing.

Ciao Russell and again congratulation.
