Mars in 2020



The following three images of Mars were captured by Pete Hill between the 27th September and 15th October 2020. All images were taken using a Celestron 9.25 SCT tracking on an HEQ5pro mount. An Image Source DMK41 colour CCD camera was used on the 27th September and 14th October, and a Celestron Neximage 5 (CMOS) on the 15th October. Each image was produced by stacking the best 500 of 1000 frames in Autostakkert3, tweaked using wavelets in Registax6, then polished and labelled in Photoshop CS6. Images © Peter Hill.
