Mars storm smaller?

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Ivan -

Great images!

Look how the dust has spread south into Mare Erythraeum - not as bright here, but definitely bigger than the day before.

Mars is very beautiful in B&W too and this is a superb example.

A fine image of Plato, Ed. I've also been accumulating lunar images for a rainy day - they take me a long time to get together.

Fine shot, Mike - I think you've processed the image just right for the seeing - the tones are beautiful.

Mars from the 25th

Posted By Alan Friedman

Great image. I like to use the appearance of the E and F stars in the trapezium as a test to evaluate the seeing (and just to enjoy - one of the most beautiful multiple stars in the sky!)

Very nice, Paul - especially saturn!

Do you stay up between mars and saturn? I've pooped out so far.

Excellent image, Mario. I think it might benefit by stretching the histogram a little?

Thanks for posting it -
