Details:
The atmosphere on the dusty planet Mars is starting to clear up a bit as you can see from a couple of my images taken between the 11th and the 22nd of August. But unfortunately our Earth is now racing away from the planet and Mars will just become smaller and smaller as viewed through the telescope. I have been so lucky to have had over three weeks of fine weather to take pictures and observe Mars and even though a dust storm encircled the whole planet, I was at least able to capture some surface features on the planet…and I’m very happy about that :-) This montage of images were taken between the 11th and the 22nd August 2018 with a Meade 10inch LX200 telescope and a ZWO ASI 120 MC-S colour CCD camera with a 3x Barlow attached. AVI movie files were captured and then processed in RegiStax6 and PS CS4.

Great images Noleen, some really good detail visible there. The next opposition is quite close in 2020 when it will be better placed for us in the Northern hemisphere , then we have to wait till 2033!, regards Mark

Thank you Mark, yes its only two years to wait until Mars comes around again...hopefully next time we dont have a dust storm, I wish you all the best, Noeleen :-)
