I was looking at The Sky at Night mags online Mars tool and
starry night to see if I could work out the markings.
I'm baffeled!
Do any of you want to try and see can you work out the main features?


This'll be fun! :D

That's an excellent shot Frank, and yes, the ETX with its Maksutov optics and long focal length is a great scope for the planets and a great partner for a webcam.

I'm looking forward to having a go at Mars myself - I haven't imaged it for nearly two years now!

Nice shot. I should have taken a scope out last night but it's been so long since I last saw a proper clear sky that I just took my eyes and 10x50s out to a dark location. I was afraid it wouldn't last!

Frank you are getting just too good at this planetary imaging.

How did you find getting focus using the 5x powermate?
