was April 10th 2023 last time I imaged Mars, since then I never put a camera on the scope to capture it, till a couple of day ago I decided to give a shot after spending time on Ganymede transit on Jupiter.

 

seeing was not so great but not too bad for a 1st serious attempt,  this is the best of four captures, elevation was 42° deg "only" but I was too tired to wait 3 hours with -2°C temp for meridian transit (66° deg)

 

Stacked 25% of 54.000 frames  (300fps 3 minutes video),

 

Firecapture --> AS3 --> WaveSharp (1) --> Gimp
