Mars December 23, 2005

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all,

December 22 (Dec 23 am) was an odd night. I could only get 3 images. The first was pretty good, the next two decent and then the clouds came in and ended my session.

Mars and Deimos

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all,

Two images from Christmas Eve. The first of Mars, nothing special. The blue clouds in the SPR are apparent. The second is Deimos. It was at 13.2 mag when I shot this.

Jupiter December 26, 2005

Hi all,

Finally a fairly decent image even though Jupiter was less than 40 degrees above the horizon.

Hi all,

Only a couple more to go from 2005. This turned out better than I thought it would...seems seeing improved as my session went along. These were the last 3 images of a 10 image session.

Mars January 9, 2006

Hi all,

Moving in high gear now!!! This image is not quite as good as the January 7 image I just posted, but very, very close. I had about 6-10 days of better than average seeing and was able to take advantage of it!

Hi all,

Another early January Mars image. Seeing less than the previous night, but still very decent. Note the horseshoe feature in Hellas in the red image. Perhaps a slight indication of the SPH.

Hi all,

I'm capturing images much faster than I can process them, but I have lots for a rainy day, which we have not had here in Phoenix for 95 days!! Seeing was decent for this image.
