Here are a couple pics of mars. First one should be from 9-3-2003 through my meade lx90 using a meade superplossl 4000 12.4mm w/ a 2x barlow (322x) and a kodak 4230 digital camera (not an astrophotography type of camera). The second one is from a mars star party 9-4-2003 using a tak 6 refractor and the same camera. Not sure on power or eyepieces used. Doing some cheap and simple imaging of brighter ojbects for me is so much fun. I use astrostack and try to stack images, which is confusing but i think im getting the hang of it. Anyway, i know there is much better out there, but this hobby has all types of equipment and people and everbody has to start someplace, right? Take care and clear skys to you all!! T. J.
