About this image

My first attempt to image Mars this apparition. Next time I'll try it sober.

Forgotten how challenging this was, battling dew, poor polar alignment and mediocre seeing.

Syrtis Major & Hellas visible.

Not hopeful of practise makes perfect. Would be happy with practise makes better.
