Details:
Mars as seen from Chiefland Astronomy Village in Florida. 3:32 am, Sept. 26, 2020.
32” Dobsonian with f/3.67 Lockwood optics. Paracor for f/4, and 3x focal extender for total of f/12, 9600mm. Camera is ASI 290 color with 2.9 micron pixels.
Exposure was 60 seconds at 33 FPS. Selected and stacked best 15% of frames via Autostakkert and processed further in Registax.
With thanks to Mike Lockwood for optics and John Pratte of JP Astrocraft for improving and fine tuning telescope mechanics. Thanks as well to my neighbors at CAV for sharing their knowledge and their enthusiasm. That goes especially for the indefatigable Bill Williams, without whose encouragement I would probably have slept in instead of imaging!
