Mars is beautifully close in visual proximity to the Moon. While working to capture a non-shadowed view of the lunar surface near Apollo 15 landing site near Hadley Rille, I couldn't help stopping by Mars for an image. Starmaster hybrid truss dobsonian reflector with 14.5" f4.3 Zambuto mirror, Skycommander go-to and tracking, Siebert Black Knight 45mm binoviewer with Siebert 36mm observatory class eyepiece on one side, ZWO ASI 294 MC-Pro camera on the other, at 10-deg C, each using a Baader MPC (Thanks Steve H. for the recent transaction). SER 16-bit RAW video for 60 seconds, region of interest at 1900x1200 for faster frame rates to Dell D630 computer. Video processed via Autostakkert for best frames stacking, followed by Registax 6 (100% layers 1 and 2, sharpen/denoise), then minor touch up in Digital Photo Professional.
