Hi all,

Sometimes I just can't wait to get caught up. Here is what I imaged this morning.

Very nice, Paul. Plenty of detail there, particularly in the red channel - as you'd expect.

Top effort!

Outstanding Paul. Back in 2003, did you ever think you'd be getting images of Mars like this at 8 arcsec?

Also, with that cloud band showing up so well in Red, south of the NPC, it looks as though there might be a front headed south with some dust in it.

Heck, I hardly thought I'd image Mars like that when it was 25"!! LOL!! I almost woke the neighborhood at 4am the first time I focused Mars with my Toucam and C8 back in 2003 when I almost let out a whoop!! **grin**
