Mars
Taken 28th Dec 09, 2.25 AM.
Meade 10'' sct, philips scp900 webcam, registax.
Polar caps and main features visible.
Slight hint of clouds (bluish tint) in the atmosphere.
Seeing stared off good but thick fog shut me down by 3am.

The one I have here says "air spaced" aswell.
The one in the pic above is a "meade 2x telenegative amplifier, air spaced triplet"
Mine is the one in the pic you have above, can you find a pic of the one you have in your bag ?

The advantages of having a teething 7 month old that
really does not sleep means you can be out
at twenty to four in the morning on new years day
imaging Mars with the baby intercom at your side.
The disadvantages are that your brain becomes
the same consistency as mushy peas.
Either way it's all good.
These shots are all processed on a laptop screen
(breaking my golden rule) but I am just too tired to care.
Hopefully it doesn't look gammy.
Good bit of detail,
the seeing was quite respectable.
I used a different barlow this time which
resulted in a smaller image on the chip that
I suspected but didn't fully notice until this morning.
I have a 5x barlow but it's useless.
The images are always too dim.
Are there any suggestions
(short of buying a C14)
that would help in gaining a larger image?
