Mars

Date: 17 November 2005
Equipment: Phillips TouCam and x2 Barlow on the VC200L (f18 in total)
Subframes: 500 x 1/10 second, processed in Registax.

Mars was around 19" in diameter and was just past the October 30th opposition. It won't get as big again until just before the opposition of 2018, which will be low down in Capricorn and pretty much hopeless for UK observers.

I might have got the hang of web-camming by then...
