Mars on November 1st
      #3424671 - 11/01/09 10:31 PM

Here is a Mars image that I took early this morning.

The North Polar Cap appears to have grown quite a bit in October.

The image was taken with my Takahashi CN-212 in cassegrain mode with a Phillips ToUCam pro. A Meade 2x apo barlow with focal extender was used (effectively a 3.1x barlow), putting the system at around F/38. 671 Frames were stacked.

That's a very good image. The polar cap does seem to have expanded.
