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 .

March 13, 2025 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.

February 15, 2025 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.

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. |
