First light of the modified DMK21 camera (read more under wiki)
This animation shows Mars rotating between 23:05 23:38 UTC on March 1.

Images show Mars rotating between 20:55 and 23:50 UTC

Mars is getting smaller fast now. This might have been my last Mars of this season, but I hope the sky does clear up some more in the next weeks.

Images show Mars rotating between 19:43 and 23:44 UTC.

Probably my best Mars to date.

It was very cold last night (-7c and quite a lot of wind), but the seeing was above average and I also put quite a lot of time in processing this one.

Slightly different processing.

Finally a break in the bad seeing and/or clouded nights! It was pretty cold though; about -10C, and I had to take a break half-way imaging because I couldn\'t feel my fingers anymore.

More images on the way in the comming days (Saturn, Mars animation, and some moon images as well)

The recordings are shot between January 25 22:09UT and January 26 02:45UT, so you can see Mars rotating in about 4 hours and 30 minutes. I used 29 sets of R, G B recordings, and manually combined those to 29 color images, and then I had to align and rotate them to finally create the animation. I might have another go at processing in the future though, because i'm not too pleased with how the noise level turned out.

This animation shows Mars in blue light, making the clouds stand out better.
