Details:
Seeing was good here in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Despite the fact that the sublime desert region was front and center on the Martian disk, the enormous extinct volcano Olympus Mons was visible. Often Martian clouds can appear around its summit but on this day clear skies prevailed. Used a Meade LX50 10-inch SCT with a 2x Barlow and an ASI120MC-S camera. Processed using AS2, Reg6, and PS5 Selected the best 900 frames out of 15,500 frames.
