This night I used my 10D to get the Martian satellites, S&T gave me the best time of imaging with biggest distance of Phobos to the limb of Mars (22").
I cleaned all my glass surfaces to have lowest possible stray light and imaged at straight f/10 with the C11 and the Canon 10D.
I tried 4-30sec, best results were with 8 sec at ISO800.
Visually I could not get one of them.
After that I used the AP barlow and imaged the surface of Mars at f/20, (1/60 sec with the 10D) then stacked 20 of the frames in Registax and inserted it into the long exposure to show the real size of Mars, hope this is allowed.
