A month from today, Mars will be at opposition. Last night I was able to make some pictures of Mars. Right after midnight (local time), Mars was bright and high in the sky. Pictures were made with ZWO ASI224MC on TAL 200K f/8.5. I used my ADC and Barlow x2. Capturesoftware ASICAP was used and stacking was done with AutoStakkert!. Final editing with CS4.
