Taken night of Sept 10 with ST10 CCD camera and my 10" Mak-Cass at F30. The result is not as good as those taken with the better video cameras, but my first effort this season. Had only 50 images of Red and Blue and 100 of Lum, and Green for stacking. I'll probably try again tonight if it stays clear.

Hi Roland -

A fine start - and we have more than a month to get closer.
Did you take unfiltered images for luminance?

Hi Roland,

Very nice image from poor seeing conditions, I'm sure it will not be long before you will be posting some amazing Mars images.

Thanks,
