I had a very short window of time last night before the clouds rolled in. Seeing was about average (3/5). The SPC is extremely bright in relationship to the rest of the planet, so I had to take great care not to burn out detail during processing.

Pete, you got incredible coverage of this Mars apparation, seems to me any available clear day (regardless of seeing)   Are you going to make a movie or something with all these pics?

Thanks Tony.  Being recently retired and having an observatory with good southern coverage helps a lot.  We also had unusually good seeing this apparition.  This was a very humid and endless summer, with the jet stream very far up to the north.  I am considering to make a poster out of these images, like I did in 2005 and again in 2007/2008.
