Details:
I’ve decided to place most of my images of the Red Planet onto a single canvas. It just might happen that the image from August 25 is my last of this opposition, so a retrospective of the opposition was in place. This doesn't mean that I won't observe the planet visually through the scope.
The great dust storm that had a global effect on Mars, changed some albedo features, and this is apparent in the first and last shots of the sequence, with Solis Lacus changing the appearance dramatically.
I’ve selected only the infrared images, since the RGB sequences were too different and poor in quality. Despite the low altitude of the planet, the July 28 session was truly memorable, with excellent seeing higher in the sky, and good for 20 degrees; thus a lot of details are detectable in the July 28 image, including the Valles Marineris canyon.
For the 2020 opposition, Mars will much better positioned in the sky for my location (and the Northern Hemisphere in general), so I must wait for a couple more years for some high resolution images…
