Details:
The magnificent red planet Mars is now putting on a spectacular show in the eastern sky near the crown of Scorpius (The Scorpion). I can’t believe I’m seeing so much detail on the planets surface and I think it’s only going to get better over the next few nights as the dusty red planet reaches opposition.
Saturn is also looking stunning and is not that far away from Mars on the ecliptic with its glorious rings now nearly fully open and showing the Cassini ring beautifully.
You must go outside have a look at this planetary show…it’s just wonderful :-)
My images were taken with a Meade LX200 10inch telescope and an Orion Deep Space Video Camera with a 5x Barlow lens attached that saves avi movies, which are loaded and stacked in RegiStax6 and processed in Photoshop.
