Details:
Since Mars is getting close to opposition, I made another go of imaging the red planet. I wanted to get a good shot of Valles Marineris (the real grand canyon). A friend loaned me his 3x barlow and this allowed me to get the image scale I wanted. Seeing was pretty good and I spent a few hours changing filters and trying to keep Mars centered in the frame as I forgot to properly polar align the mount (Murphy's law strikes again haha). I was using a C11 EDGE at f30 with an ASI1600MM camera. I took 18 videos of 90s through each filter for this sequence and stacked them in Autostakkert. I then applied wavelets in Registax and de-rotated the images in Winjupos. This is the first time that I have actually gotten some detail in the south pole (South is at the top in this image).
