Mars 3 weeks before Opposition - a photo on Flickriver

Mars 3 weeks before Opposition

My goal was to get some practice imaging Mars before its opposition on Dec 8th, but with good transparcy, seeing, and decent processing, this ended up being my best shot of Mars to date.

I created a quick video of my equipment and acquisition details in this video here if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKOeYdYOTSg

The equipment I used for this shot:

* NexStar 6SE SCT
* 3x Televue Barlow
* ZWO 533mc
* Celestron AVX mount
* Processed in PIPP, AutoStakkert!3, and AstroSurface. I also did a version with Registax that I show in the video.
