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. -------------------- Kyle Edwards Solar System Imaging Simulator My Astrophotography Gallery Edited by KyleEdwards (11/01/09 10:37 PM) Post Extras:       telecasterguru super member Reged: 02/02/09 Posts: 101 Loc: Sydney Australia Re: Mars on November 1st [Re: KyleEdwards]       #3424771 - 11/01/09 11:44 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   That's a very good image.
