Details:
With Jupiter and Saturn succumbing to the evening twilight, that leaves only two planets rule the January nighttime sky. Despite the fact that Mars is only a shadow of its once glorious self from last Autumn, The Red Planet still shines at a respectable 0.18 magnitude. It also is showing the way to the distant Ice Giant planet, Uranus less than 2 degrees away. Through my Celestron EDGE C9.25 telescope, Mars shows some surface details on it Gibbous disk. The featureless Uranus shines with a steady blue green light from its tiny disk. The Uranus image is actually an IR610RGB image acquired with a ZWO ASI290mm camera at f/10. Mars was acquired with a ZWO ASI224mc camera along with a 2x Barlow.
