Title

Mars 22nd February - two scopes in two locations

About this image

This followed on from imaging the night side of Venus on 22nd February. As the skies were clear and Mars overhead we switched to suitable planetary kit and obtained two nice images of Mars. I then returned home and later on imaged Mars using ny SCT at home. An interesting comparison with same kit on two separate scopes both on EQ8 mounts about four miles apart.
