Mars 2025

These images were taken with a C14  on an AP900GTO mount.  I used a QHY5III585C camera.  A Starlight Xpress USB  filter wheel was used to produce an RGB image.  I used an Astrophysics Advanced Barcon (starting April 23) working at 2.2X.    To capture I used  FireCapture 2.7.  For processing, I use AutoStakkert and  Registax V5 .

Conditions were very good today.  But Mars is getting smaller!

These images show Sinus Sabaeus and Sinus Meridiani.  Hellas can be seen on the lower right and there seems to be some clouds over it.  Syrtis Major is setting on the right.

After a week of cloudy and rainy weather I finally had a break to image Mars.   Seeing was excellent

Syrtis Major can be seen on the left while Mary Cimmerium is on the lower right with Sinus Gomer sticking out.  Elysium is on the upper right.  The albedo feature on Elysium is gone.

Seeing was variable today. 

These images show Syrtis Major at the CM.  Hellas looks cloudless below Syrtis Major.  Sinus Sabaeus is on the left.

Seeing was very good today.  These images show Mare Erythraeum and Chryse.  The Tharsis Volcanic area is cloudy but one can see Ascraeus Mons sticking out of the cloud top.

I had a very late start with Mars this season because of bad weather.

Solis Lacus can be seen below.  Mare Erythraeum and Pyrrhea Regio is on the right..  One can make out Olympus Mons rising on the left.  The Tharsis volcanoes are difficult to see.
